Is Dr. P-H from Guelph away or sick?

Just wondering if this is part of the SLOW process?

I have seen it posted here that a member of her family is not well, so she is out of the country (I think) visiting.

Sorry I didn't respond yesterday.  Meant to, but got sidetracked at work. 

yes, Dr. P-H is away with her mother who is very ill.  She just left recently though, so up until now it's all just been the normal process.  Things are going to slow down a bit more.  I've heard it will be an extra month's delay at this point.  Hopefully her mother gets recovers quickly.

hum, I have an 18 month follow up visit with her next week...wonder if it is cancelled...

I'd give them a call.  They may have you come in and see someone else maybe?  I heard that all of her upcoming office visits were cancelled and that Dr. Reed is taking over her surgeries.  Definitely double check though, because even if what I heard is true, that could change at any moment if she comes back or things change.

She cancelled my appt due to her mothers illness.
I was supposed to see her last August but due to her mothers illness she came to work two hours late and there were still 6 people ahead of me and when I went to tell the receptionist I had to leave she looked at me like I had two heads. I have a job and it's not a job where I can just pick up and leave whenever I choose to. If I say I'm going to be gone two hours for an appointment I can't turn that into a five hour appointment. I've decided I'm not going to go to any more surgeon appointments. For me there is no value in losing that time from work when I have no complications. I will continue to see the nurse and nut though as find those appointments to be of value to me.  

I understand people need to be there for their family. It's not a slight against her for that. I just have to be careful in the time I take off work and I have to children who I need to take to appointments so if I take the time off I need to be using it wisely.

Wonder why they didnt say anything to me when I was there on Friday about someone else doing her surgeries.. I get mine done on May 25th.. it would have been nice to know if someone else is going to be preforming the surgery

I would call and doube check that your surgery is still on. Dr. Reed is likely doing it, but what if he's already booked?

I had mine cancelled twice this time last year because of her mom's illness, Dr. Reed had to do mine later. Not her fault I understand that, but it's frustrating when you get all worked up and it gets cancelled. I'm sure Dr Reed is doing it, but you should know.

They may not be sure if she's still going to be away?  Definitely give them a call.

Let us know.

I was at Guelph today.  She is back.  Dr. Reed covered her surgeries last week.
