HI Saffy
It's now christmas eve and I guess those pen pushers did not bother to let you know or give you a status update as Jackiey said its just basic stuff to update someone and not leave that in a limbo but i guess these people have no clue what you have gone through in your life and how much pain you are in now we all just become a patient number.
For you i wish only that your new year starts with all good news but i do hope you can have a nice christmas also with your family. look forward to chatting again with you in the new year
