Rosie dropped me off at the hospital for my appointment at 10:20am. By 10:45 we’d established that they had no record of my appointment and in fact the specialist due to administer the test wasn’t even in this morning. The same old Chinese woman who sortd out last time when they’d sent me the paperwork for the wrong procedure was there again to rescue the day. I now have an appointment next week at same time.

So I had an appointment for this test based on a specialist appointment with Mr Wang on 7th November, 2023. He referred me to the hospital for a test. You have to go in the public health system because there are no copies of the equipment in private hands in New Zealand. The history from then on is quite chaotic so one hopes the actual tests are more orderly.

I got a letter from the hospital (DHB, District health Board) a couple of weeks later saying as that my conditions were neither life threatening nor severe they would not even put me on the waiting list, the list was too long already.

To my surprise I got a TXT advising me of my appointment for this test on 23rd November, 2023. Things were a little fraught here so although Anna took me in I decided to skip the test for the time being. Also the appointment said that the test was for surgery as if I’d already had the test. The old Chinese lady was very nice about it and said she’d contact me in a few months time to see if I’d changed my mind.

Mid January I got a TXT from the DHB saying I had an appointment 27th January, 2024. Two days later I got another TXT sayin my appointment was postponed and they’d advise me of the new date.

Yesterday, 10th December 2024, I got a letter in the post with the correct instructions and saying my appointment was today at 10:30am. We wait for next week’s appointment to see how that goes.

Bangle trotted off with Chrissie and her pack late evening.
