Yes I think stress can really affect our health.Although you are on your own,I hope you have family or friends who you can talk to.It's hard waiting in the public system.My father in law is now blind as a bat from cataracts but when we took him to book in at Westmead hosp.for just a consult,he would be waiting 6-12 months.Then it would be another wait after that for surgery.He lives on his own but needs abit of help from us.Anyway he has decided to pay $2,500 for private surgery next month.Luckily he has the money but it's really not good enough is it.Sorry to hear that you lost your job - that would be stressful.Blog back here anytime for support or to vent your frustrations.
