Hmm well I don't have date as such just the news that "despite issues when I was younger" they had decided to put me on the list for a trial. She said at the moment they are doing them every other week and you're not being sent home in between trial and imPlant but doing them after a few days getting the stim right in hospital.

I think she was phoning round telling people whether it was a yes or no as she said she knew she'd get a good reaction from this call. I feel for those who obviously got a no go. l

I phone my surgeon's secretary this morning. She couldn't give me an exact date but said it will be April maybe early May ... However, they are hoping to take on another surgeon who is able to do this procedure, and if this is the case, then it could be earlier.

April .. May .. I can live with that ! Yay !:grouphug:

Glad Tidings
 
Saffy, so glad to learn of your possible calendaring and that you feel positive about it. May the practice add the surgeon, thus opening up more and sooner opportunities for those such as you.

Caring,
Mark56:hug:

Am in a grumbly mood today. I have been awarded high rate mobility so I have the opportunity of getting an automatic car for my needs .. only my husband says if we get one, he'll have it .. so I'd be back where I started .. stuck at home with no car. Super! :(

I would like to say Oh, Good Grief!

So, where in the deal are you going to have mobility if the car is put to other use? I feel your frustration. Hope he will see your needs, too.
Sorry.

Mark .. this car is definitely going to be my baby. :grouphug: I am so happy as there is no way we would be able to afford to have a car any other way and this at least means I can get out of the car.

Am ordering her on FRIDAY .. which means she will arrive possibly in the middle of all the hoo harr of the stim, but at least I can go and sit in her.

Good to know you will have mobility.... truly good! Hoping and praying for an earlier date for your implant!

Saffy I got a Toyota Rav 4 Automatic and I must say the DIFFERENCE in driving compared to the manual car I had is AMAZING!!! I can literally sit back and relax and let the car do the work. As I had awful trouble trying to change the gears with my left leg or sitting in traffic too. A nightmare....

Good luck with your new car, it looks fabulous btw.....and happy driving when you get it too.....

Take care
