...O.M.G.. I rang the secretary's office today to try and find out if there had been any improvements on info about a date...there was no answer so I listened to the recorded message, in it it says that if i ring back the switchboard, and ask to be put through to an orthopaedic surgeons secretary they can try and help...so i did that, spoke to a different secretary, and i explained what i was trying to find out, unfortunately she cannot help with other surgeons appointments, but did say that if i rang the operation waiting list that they might be able to help, anyway, i spoke to a lovely lady who deals with the operation waiting lists, and i explained the situation and asked if she could help, so she took Maisie's full name, d.o.b & address.....as i waited for her to get the information up on her screen it was slightly nerve wracking.....but i patiently waited for what seemed like forever, but am sure it was only a matter of seconds....for her to turn around and say......"YES THERE'S A DATE FOR HER HERE, you will receive a letter in the post!".....my response was..."really?? oh that's great"...all said with a very very shaky voice, heart pounding faster than anything, legs readily jellied and ready to just flop on me....i don't think I've ever experienced a feeling like it.....it's made this whole ordeal properly real...i was nearly in tears, and told her that, explaining that i really don't want to have her put to sleep and operated on but i know that she has to have it done...i asked her if she could tell me what the date was...and told me that it was 24th March 2011.....wow that's not far away, that's not long at all.....need to get some propper preparation started, and ring the really important ones, and let others know.....
