Hey Laura how far is the nearest one at, you could make a mini vacation of the visit, take time driving there and back, just a thought cause 2-3 yrs seems like a long time to deal with some of what you have on your plate. as always hoping you feel grand

good point Cherie docs can open doors i have had a few opened that way myself, not a bad idea Cherie

Sometimes it really DOES pay to have your doc intervene to see if you can get in faster to another doc. This might be the case, as Cherie suggested. Or I like her idea of going to see another guy in another city.

Ya know, Florida's a bit far for me to go in a short time so can you pick a closer state if you're going to move?

LOL I'll have to run that by the man dear

He probably doesn't want to leave his nest

Cherie, awesome info! I didn't know they'd pay for travel expenses in some cases as well.

I guess it depends on the policy of your particular Provincial Health Care system, but I know some people in BC have gone to Alberta or even to Washington State when things have been TOO backed up here. Of course you have to fight for that opportunity . . .
