waiting for new legs
Well, after a 19 month wait for surgery to remove varicose veins, the deed is now done and am just waiting to unwrap the new legs!! (Need them to keep up with my happy dances) Tomorrow I go for allergy tests to determine how bad my allergy to iodine and contrasts before they can carry out more tests on upper urinary tract. Fingers crossed it will not preclude any important tests ( also that it doesn*t need a 19 month wait before they do them!)

As long as those new legs are up to “Flamenco” standards, that’s all that matters! Congrats on standing your ground and getting that appointment! Hope all continues to go well…

Now that’s the way to get things done!!!
I am happy that you finally got a date. Way to stand up for yourself.

thanx for the good wishes – well all went pretty good- only mild response to contrast tests – the alergoligist(?) thinks the risks of a bad reaction would be less than the risks of not doing the scans, so i am happy with that. Seeing as I was in the same hospital as they were at some unknown date in the future going to give me an appointment for cysto and more biopsies to see if the CIS had responded to BCG, and scans, I decided to plant myself at the admissions desk and threw a hissy fit- explaining that I was not waiting for an appointment to treat a verruca, that they were not complying with international protocols for cancer treatment and that I was going nowhere until I had a satisfactory answer as to why they were unable to give me an idea as to when I would see a urologist – it worked! Appointment 29th October, and I happy danced (sort of) on my new legs out of the hospital.
Sorry to disappoint you , but the legs are not Ginger Rogers standard, but definitely highly suitable for happy dancing!

Here’s hoping for good news on the test! :)
And that the legs are as nice as Ginger Rogers.
Your going to need them for all the happy dances. ;)
