I rang them again this morning @Ru-bee The lady that was meant to send an email to the pdoc yesterday didn't, so I am no further along. This lady said she will email the pdoc but how can I believe her. I told her on the phone the I really need an admission. Made no difference.
On a totally different topic, did you know that our shire has only 1 ambulance in service at night.

Ugh, so frustrating @Snowie but I'm so proud of you for staying on top of it and really really hope thwy send that email today. I know it's hard to have faith and belief with all of these setbacks and being let down by the system, so I'm gonna hold some faith for you and hope that this gets sorted out for you soon
That fact is a bit alarming to learn 😬

I just don't know how much more I can take @Ru-bee
Being compliant didn't help
Waiting didn't help
Screaming out didn't help
Annoying people didn't help
Trying to get support didn't help
I'm too tired to fight for myself anymore, they win.

I know, you've been so strong throughout this and taken some amazing steps that took real courage @Snowie
You've done what you can today by following up about that email. Do you feel that you can be safe and wait for this to be followed through today?

I know it is "if's", but what if it doesn't get solved today or tomorrow @Ru-bee. Then I have to wait till next week. This has been going on for way too long.
I really don't know
