Finally made that all important appointment...

[Kieron Andrew]

Nice one Kieron! See, I told you you'd be fine mate

And you're lucky to have found a GP who knows what to do - when I first went to mine he had no idea, and it took him months to find out. 6 weeks isn't long to wait at all! I'm really, really chuffed for you

Thanks Dave and thanks for helping to clear my mind last night

Dude....That is so awesome!! It's going to work out great, I KNOW it!!

Thanks dude

Woot, that's great Kieron. Sorry I missed this thread before. Happy for you!

Ah dont sweat it, i know you've been busy, thanks

Good for you, K, I knew you'd get it! Six weeks, huh? As long as it doesn't interfere with the wedding.

i told him i dont want no appointments in june! LOL and they have most of May to get an apointment out to me so...but funny thing is now ive done this im in no rush because im in the system so if i have to change the appointment i will do so

[Syr_SwitchyGQ]

[Tamara Croft]

Wonderful new, Kieron, so happy for you!!

I'll be watching for the updates. Way to go!!

[kerrianna]

Hey Kieron, glad your new doc was able to help you out and get you the referral.

...but funny thing is now ive done this im in no rush because im in the system so if i have to change the appointment i will do so

That's how I feel too. And I have changed my appointment twice because of work. And may have to again. But after 2 months I am getting a bit antsy.

But the main thing is taking that first step and pushing off from shore. It feels like you're on your way.

I'm out of the loop. What wedding? Who you marrying?

Wow Kieron that's great news.

And six weeks is nothing at all, especially with the NHS being the way it is!!!

[Kieron Andrew]

Like what Kieron said...

It's a free health service in this country, essentially you can get anything you truely need done for free in the UK. But chances are you'll have to wait to have it done. If you want anything done quickly, or nonessential plastic surgery you have go private and pay for it.

[melissaK]

From Kieron's wiki link: "The NHS is the world's largest health service, and the world's third largest employer after the Chinese army and the Indian railways."

I used to think of myself as well informed, but sheeesh, how'd I miss knowing about this group! Sadly, I'm just another ethnocentric Yankee girl . . .

Well i just got a letter this morning from my local Mental Health Team, asking me to call them to arrange the Initial Assessment Appointment and so i did....and i have an appointment 17th April at 2pm , best thing about this is the appointment centre is literally up the road from me

[Shelly Preston]

Hi Kieron

Good luck with the assessment when the time comes

[SirTrey]

Woah, dude!! Great news on the appointment!!

[Tamara Croft]

that's excellent news Kieron

[CaptLex]

and i have an appointment 17th April at 2pm , best thing about this is the appointment centre is literally up the road from me

And you don't have to get up early . . . well, that part is important to me.

Congrats! You're cookin' with gas now!

[kerrianna]

And you don't have to get up early . . . well, that part is important to me.

Haha, I agree. 2 PM is a perfect time for an appointment. It gives you a few hours to get yourself looking good. Not that you need that time, right Kieron?

Congrats on the appointment, and it's great it's just up the street.

Congrats on the appointment, and it's great it's just up the street.

[Sandra]

[ZenFrost]

Awesome news bro!

And even better.

[Kieron Andrew]

Yup i managed to get transport, they confirmed that and the appointment today....so everything is in place for it....i think??

Ive got a month to wait and ive just begun to feel nervous about it again lol

[Kieron Andrew]

Countdown begins, 9days to go and im effing nervous the closer it gets to this appointment, its like my whole future rides on it and i hate not having that control over it

Just be your usual eloquent self and I don't see how they could do anything but what you want. Telling you not to be nervous won't accomplish anything, but -- really! -- don't be nervous!
