Re: I'm New Here > Helen McG

[Guest guest]

We will have to call you Helen Mc because we have another Helen here as well. I was down seeing that Dr. Fill today - well one of the two of them from NSP. They are wonderful. So you are going in Tuesday as well... my best friends husband is Thursday... shame it isn't the same as you and Gabs so that you could all have a good old chin wag whilst there. I did with a couple of girls who were done the same day as me and it is really good to know that you are not alone.

I look forward to hearing how you go with it all. Best wishes Helen. And say hi to the Dr. Fills for me... not sure which one you are using, Steve or Garret, they are both brilliant in my opinion... But Dr. Steve is my guy.

I'm with Dr Steve, everyone seems really great, particularly the nurse I met at

my pre op wo

was very reassuring, so I'm sure I'll be fine. Definitely looking forward to

meeting Gabs on

Monday. We'll both be waiting with bated breath for that phone call on Fri

afternoon!
