It certainly does pay to be pushy when it comes to getting an urgent appointment with specialists. I'd had no word last week from Wgtn hospital with regards to making an appointment to see me following my GP faxing them a referral. However today I received a reply from Alwyn D'Souza after I emailed him on Friday asking that he see me at his earliest convenience. In it he said he would have someone call me today and schedule a time to see him this Wednesday. Sure enough within minutes of his email I received a call from the hospital informing me of my 11am appointment.
In the email he also mentioned that he is still waiting for the documentation from The Leonardis Klinik with regards to the storage conditions of my stem cells. Without that paperwork they cannot be returned. What annoys me is that I was assured on several occasions by the klinik manager that it had been completed and sent. If the stem cells have to be written off and left in Germany that will mean a re-harvesting of new stem cells. I'm not sure how well Wellington hospital would take that as the cost is huge.
Health-wise I feel good, but my breathing is pretty crappy. I feel asthmatic most of the time and get breathless easily.
The cough is still there and last night saw a return of the night sweats. The sooner I get back into treatment the better. Fingers crossed that's on the agenda, Wednesdays meeting will reveal all I guess. I'll update you on what we discuss in my next post.
