Re: FINAALLLY I have my doctor's appointment!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Llweyn,

Waaahoooo!!! Hurray and good for you. It has been a long wait and

you really deserve answers. I suppose it could be argued that all

this " wait time " has prepared you for your appointment in a way that

might be surprising to the doctor.....in fact....I really do hope he

is prepared. I get the feeling if he comes into the consult with

anything less than clear and full answers you will be a bit like a

dog with a bone! (I think this is why doctors generally are not

liking the internet....patients actually question their doctors

these days)

Well, I have put you on the calender and am looking forward to

hearing all about your consult. Its great news.

Take Care, Cam
