I have to see the psychologist

Ahhhhh....I called today to see if I might be soon signing the paper, or at least knowing if I'm still moving along and was told that the psychologist has flagged me to book an appt with her or at least for her to have a second look at my questionnaire.  I mentioned to the nurse how bummed I was. I said that with all the therapy I've already had and the changes I've already made that I felt the strongest I have and how ready I was. I mentioned that I was thinking that I may be getting it in February and that it's a bummer to think it may be more months.  She said that they mentioned that this was the process and that 95% of people do have to see here and that if I counted on it for February and was bummed that maybe I DID need to see her. I think she missed my point, but I am sure you guys ( in the same boat as me) understand that it is not a psychological issue that we try to figure out approx how long to help with the waiting and when that gets pushed back that it is a bummer!  I thought when they came out with the questionnaire it was supposed to alleviate the long wait period!  So now I'm on a wait again for that office to call and book me an appt. I hope it doesn't set me back too much. The pain in my knees and feet have been getting much worse lately.  I don't know if it's the weather or just the progression of the osteo arthritis. 

So sorry to go on, but just needing a little love and understanding. 

Hi, don't worry, I had to see her too, we just booked my session for the same day I was going to sign off on my surgery. It didn't slow the process down at all.

Did you ask the psychologist if you could when you booked the appt?  It would be much better for me if I could. It's a two hour drive for me. I also have to use vacation time when I go. Two in one would definitely be good for me.   Do you mind if I ask what her questions were like?  Or were they based on getting more info on certain questions on the questionnaire?  I feel like she doesn't think I'm psychologically ready....

I think I asked if I could have both booked at the same time since I was coming from PEI and they were accommodating. When I met with the psychologist, we just talked about my questionnaire and some of the things that I had answered about emotional eating and night eating. I was surprised that I needed to see her but it was very relaxed and not stressful at all. She was very nice and did one follow up phone call about a month ago and we decided we didn't need any further follow up but she did say that I had access to their services for life.

Thanks a lot. I will just wait and see what happens, and if possible try to book them both at one time as well.  Keeping positive!

Finally got my psychologist appt. I go dec 2nd. I asked if I could also book my signing paperwork appt and the psychologist's receptionist didn't know anything about that. She said she will have to check with Tanya (psychologist).  Doesn't sound like the offices connect they way they make it seem.  At any rate, I'm moving forward again!! Yay! 

Hi rykat, Is your appointment in Moncton Or Bathurst?  I have my Information session in Bathurst on the 3rd and Im just wondering, if its the same procedure! :D and congrats BTW !! :D

No I opted for Moncton since it's half the distance for me. I live in oromocto. 

Yeah Im only 45 mins from Bathurst, and 2 hours from Moncton, so Bathurst is where im going,  I wish you lots of luck, and hopefully everything will come along for you nicely and quickly :D

Had my appt today. She thinks I'm mentally, psychologically ready. But still wants to see me again. I have one or two cans of pop a day and she wants me to stop now completely. And keep track of my diet for two weeks. :(.  So I'm thinking rum straight? Lol.
