Almost a date

Phew! I spoke to the lovely Sue, Mr Kapur's secretary, on the phone. She diaried my op for the 20th of November back when I was in hospital and she sounds like she's not accustomed to being thwarted. She sent a flurry of emails off today to try and confirm arrangements. Surgery on a Saturday is not a cheap option so I feel very bad about this morning's suspicion of penury. Sue is setting up a clinic appointment for me next week on the assumption that the 20th is on. Feel much better but my word the adrenalin pump had a work out today.

The main cause of anxiety has been lack of communication. Ironically our first official paperwork from the N&N arrived in today's post: an invitation to take part in a research project aimed at improving information for patients and relatives before colorectal surgery. It was handy confirmation that I will be having treatment!
