Topic: RE: Ugh!
I agree with Ruthanne,
When I worked in a call centre, they HAD to accomodate to my health conditions. If I had to emergency eat (would get spasms on empty stomach) and drink my water, I was allowed...even at my desk. Plus my lunch was the 1/2 hr as two 15 min breaks were not feasible for a "slow eater".
You can get a Doctor notice to provide for your health conditions.
My gosh, I hope you start feeling better soon. Hang in there! It will get better.

Thanks Carly,
My heart really goes out to everyone who is waiting so long for their surgeries. Hopefully this province can and will do something soon to pick up the speed. No one should have to wait years to get help.

Thanks everyone!
Yes Ruthann, my surgery is taking place in Amherst--I would love you to be my angel. My family will drive me up, but have to go home and wait the 4-5 days until I go back home.
I just got the date for May 12th.

I'm happy for you Coreena!
Wish you all the best with your surgery...
Geesh.. me and you have been waiting to hear back from the Halifax clinic almost as long. My referral date was February or March... 1998. Haha still holding on -- don't know why.

Wow that is exciting new Coreena! Will you be having the surgery in Amherst? If so I could be your angel if you like,

That is absurd!! Can they give you a reason why you can't drink in the kitchen? I certainly would take them to task on that.
Topic: Ugh!
I am still waiting to get my scope done. This is so very frustrating to still be in pain and have the nausea i do. I call but all they say is they cant confirm me on the list and when i am on it they will call. Pffft! Plus my family doctor wont call herself she says if i dont get anywheres with them by next week she will finally call.
I go back to work next week which will be a bit rough, as i have been off for two months now. Also they have new rules at work i have to get used to. No drinking or eating in the kitchen. I can understand the no eating part but come on NO drinking? Only on breaks apparently. Which makes it very hard for me since i cant, as we know, gulp our liquids. I have a hard enough time now getting all the fluids in i am supposed to. So working a 12hr is going to make it extra hard for me :-(
Do you think it would be unfair or out of line for me to ask if i could just have a bottled water to sip on through the day, considering i only have 20% of my stomach left? I mean i know whats good for one should be for everyone but still. I just dont know how i will even get a fraction of my fluids in by days end.
