So iu again repeat all info all time i have waited when next op may be and my window of 4 weeks in october i am left on hold still listenning to them discussing me ie ask one to the other has she had it before? eventually clerk comes back says i shall need all the details again where you having this done oh i have to get the diary some 34 minutes on the line i was no further forward, on april 30th told by consultant botox given on named patient basis hew tells me june which was some 13 months since last infusion this year if i get it in october my bladder will have been distressed now some17 months causing me to self catherise up to 10 times daily, so i am praying that i can have my named botox cos sure as hell they gave my planned june dose to someone else, and yes this will b the 5 th time i have had this procedure it has certainly changed my life am no longer when it is performed regularly having to seek loo.or carry 6 or so catheters when i go out. i suppose will b told it is cut backs if so perhaps i should be booking my request for the procedure next year in next couple of months when i am no longer housebound with operation site not fully healed i will go to my gp and ask for referral will certainly b quicker than this year 2013 route. according to waiting list dept no good speaking to secretary cos is them that do the list well i have obviously fallen foul of them. disgruntled with waiting.
