I am getting very stressed this week

I have become stressed about my meeting with a specialist on Friday. It is making it hard to sleep, hard to get anything done and I am tired and hardly sleeping. I feel so pressured that I have just this one attempt to try and convince the specialist that without this 'Experimental' surgery option I will be facing being housebound within a few years, especially as it will also mean another surgery at that time.
Why are we put in situations such as this, where we have to explain and justify our potentially disastrous situations to people who don't understand and, most likely, aren't interested anyway.
All this is on top of having to attend hospital which I am frightened of doing because of so many bad experiences over the last 5 years or so.
I really cannot figure out how I am going to cope.

So now I have to go back to investigation. A CT Scan and Nerve Induction test must be done to see if it has been too long waiting and whether an operation will achieve anything.
I guess I won't be laid up over xmas but will have to start waiting and trying to cope with the problems much longer.

I think I normally break most of those sleep rules, will be difficult to change that much. Will try one at a time I guess.
