Well the normal waiting time is 8 weeks but just when he got the referral done back in 2005, the specialist he was to see, who is the one he saw this morning, was moving offices and changed jobs, and he got lost in the shuffle. I wanted to chase it up but then i ended up ill with mono/glandular fever in Sept05 and was too ill/tired to keep up with it, and then it was sort of forgotten about for a while until pumpkin started displaying big symptoms, and then we decided to pursue it officially after pumpkin was diagnosed and on track, and then it just worked out this way.
holy run-on sentence batman!
good luck with the SIL, babes.
