Wasted trip to the docs - grrrr!

I have been very tired today.  I took the girls to school, and organised Katy's penicillin with her teacher.  No football club for Katy tonight, or cubs - our objective is that she is well enough to play in the football tournament on Thursday.  Martha remembered another piece of homework, and read the first chapter of "The boy in the striped pyjamas", before we left.  They are studying World War 2.

I watched a little of "The Wright Stuff" and then went back to bed. 

When I get up, I get the information that I need for my travel insurance claim.  The medical form is at the doctors', and they have asked me to find out when I took out my travel insurance, and the dates of the flights that have been cancelled.  This takes a call to my insurance company (the people that we are sending the medical form to), and I check my flight bookings with the airline company.

I walk to the doctors' on the way to pick up Martha and Katy from school.  I am also planning to collect a paracetamol prescription.  However, at the surgery they do not have my prescription ready, and they cannot find the medical form.  I am asked if I can come back another day, which I am disgruntled by. 

I have not resolved the review of my case yet. I remain upset by the letter that I have received.  I bump into Tanya on the way to school, and end up in tears.  Basically, I end up in tears in the playground, which can only feel embarrassing (even though I know you will tell me not to worry about it).  I do have a good chat with another friend, and I am starting to feel much clearer about my way forwards. 
In short,

• change to another doctors' surgery;
• there has been a review of my case with a group of doctors - it has been a "significant event".  I doubt that I will be allowed to see the minutes of the meeting, but I am going to ask if I can see the outcome of the discussion.  What have they learned from examining my case?  This is the fundamental question that I want to know the answer to.  My goal has always been to ensure that someone else would not have the same experience that I have had.

The only thing that I remain unsure about is how to deal with my GP's attitude towards me.  My current thought is that I arrange to meet the primary care manager and describe my last visit to the surgery before I was diagnosed.  I guess that I will not achieve anything, but I may feel better if I have had the opportunity to share it. 

Back to sleep for me.
My eye remains swollen.  This is always a sign of how I am feeling; as my spirits increase, the puffiness decreases (negative correlation).

Helen has made it home from Everest.  I have just received an email saying that she is in the bath!  Hooray!

Have a good day tomorrow
love

PS Thanks to everyone in the playground.  Your support is really special to me :)
