Mellowing out!
Hey folks:
Haven't received my orientation letter yet BUT my family Doctor called to say that he received a letter from TWH acknowledging the referral and that it said I would be receiving a letter inviting me to an information/orientation session.
Funny...now I can just sit back and relax, I feel like the weight of the world has lifted off my shoulders (hmmm, interesting choice of words here! tee hee hee). As long as I am in the system and the process has begun, I am good to let it happen when it happens!
Thanks all for listening to my anxious posts over the past couple of weeks..
Ciao, for now

I thought I'd get a letter from TWH about orientation.....I called and they said it was being mailed out( which I never received by the way)....but a couple of hours later they called with my orientation date which was last december 2011!!
Maybe you could call them to ask?? It wouldn't hurt!:)

Au contraire my friend, now you call the center and say "I understand you received my referral, when can I come in for orientation?"
You want to stay on them for the next step all the time, it can make a big time difference.

I totally agree! It cannot hurt to call them and can only help. I had so many appointments moved up that way.

I never received a letter but got a phone call fairly quickly after the doctor confirmed that the referral had been sent. I told my gf that they had called for the orientation so she just called the same number I had been given and pretended that they had left her a message (but they hadn't) and they gave her a date and time! Sometimes you need to be creative
