Oh good news, NOT... Just got the phone call from my PM receptionist, she says my NS rang PM yesterday and they feel a L3/4 injection needed. The earliest he can is June 5th with a June 23 flow up. I'm feeling overwhelmed with tears. I can't see any of this being fixed by August, returning to work is not a goal it is a reality. My superannuation payments stop in August and I can't see us able to afford insurance premiums, GP, surgical and medication gap costs post August. Hence why I say I need to begin working come August and need everything surgically done by August while I can afford it.

About to ring NS secretary and have her tell NS the receptionist is sticking with June appointments. So frustrating to have to have it again when I know it worked, my notes say so, and to have to wait until June. I knew next week like my NS said wouldn't happen. I know my PM is tired, I get that, I know they are stretching his diary so he can continue to work part time, and I know as cynical me pipes up, yes, so the PM team can also continue to work, because while he works part-time now, they continue to work full time on full pay but with considerably reduced workload and once he retires they will be without work.
