Chris,

thanks for looking, but they have since found the paperwork!

Good luck with the stress test, I can visualise it now:

nurse "so is there anything you feel stressed about"
you "yes this stress test"

:-)

Hope things get sorted out for you though as you really don't need the mucking about now.

Good luck

Paul

Chris,

Get a copy of the Alice Cooper song 'Nurse Rosetta'. If the nurse you get is like the one in the song, that would expaling a dodgy ECG from any bloke.

Classic lines like

Nurse Rosetta,don't you letter her
catch me peering down her sweater

Suddenly I'm XXXXX XX XXXX :shock:
My pants XXX XXX XXX XXXXXX :oops:

Had to use the crosses as not to offend anyone. It is more a Micky take of how men behave around nurses despite some of the other sexist lyrics.

Sweet, I bet if you heard the song, you would say it sums up most ment that come to A&E.

Well being the nosey person that I am, I decided to phone the K&C to ensure that any Christmas parties had not helped lose the paperwork.

Any I am second on the list (hurrah) and the person in front of me is going to be done on the 9th March.

So apparently they (the K&C) will check with the consultant as to his availability after the 9th March and get me a cornea ordered from the eye banks.

They seem to think that as long as there is a suitable cornea available and the consultant isn't sunning himself that I should be done before the end of March.

Wahey! (Keith Chegwin).

Paul, that's fantastic news!

Well done.

As to Alice Cooper, I was sorting through my old vinyl the other day and came across that very album. Those were the days, music was music, bands had talent ...
