So sorry to see you join our select little group @SueD - but glad you've found us. There is a wealth of information here - so chuck any questions you have & we'll do our best to answer them for you.
I hope you get in with your surgeon sooner than Dec - just because the waiting SUCKS. grrr
Feel free to jump onto this thread & see what to take to hospital & other stuff (even funny stuff, as we all need a laugh now & then!) Show us your furkids, your art & craft, garden ...... anything that you enjoy making ..... and there are 'tick sheets' down the bottom so you can 'self assess' yourself (stress/worry) and take the sheets with you to your meeting ... write your questions down & give THEM a copy as well, and tick them off as each item is addressed xx
