@ Tosh. Well done I knew my Finger Crossing powers probably wouldn't be needed but had the vibes going just in case.
@Tinky. LOL what a let down though I did suspect Fancy Pants could be a let down in person. I was once mesmerised by a guy I used to speak to on the phone at least once a week. The other girls in my office reckoned he had the softest chocolate voice and the sexyist laugh they had ever come across and as a surprise invited him to my 21st birthday lunchtime drinks at a local pub. Was I glad I could introduce him to my new fiance. Boy was the dreamboat a let down. I have nothing against shorter men, my John is one, but when they think they are God's Gift to Women, come wrapped in a ton of lard and pints of cheap aftershave it's a real let down.
I know it's a long wait but get yourself booked in with another Doctor at the practice and go along armed with a pain diary. There are things that can be done and persistence wears down any resistance. Or at least that is what I have found when the medical profession has been tempted to think that I am a passive old lady who will go away and sit in a corner with my knitting.
