consultant's appointment

well today was the day that we were to meet the consultant to discuss the anti E in my blood. got into school to find that i had not been covered for the lessons that i would miss, so had to sort that out. Then, had the class from hell so by the time i left my blood pressure was through the roof. Got to the hospital for 1pm, antenatal clinic was locked, when they did electronically unlock it they didnt bother to tell all the pregnant ladies waiting outside, so we were all stood there like lemons! when we finally realised we were allowed in i was called to have my blood pressure taken, which surprisingly, was ok. the midwife then explained that the consultant had not arrived yer (1.25) and that he was notorious for being late. we were called into the consultation room at 1.50, to be greated by a doctor (the consultant still had not arrived), who poor thing, had no idea about my case or anything that had happened, so had to explain the whole history to him. He then was unable to tell us anything we didn't know about anti E and had Huw not asked a couple of questions such as contingency plans, would have been out of there in 30 seconds. My blood results weren't back so we couldn't compare titus(?) levels and therefore left feeling that we'd wasted our time. I had not met the consultant, who sauntered in over an hour late just as i was leaving, and therefore have no back up plan and no results on latest blood tests. 
we were told when leaving to book our next blood test date, good job i checked the file as the receptionist had changed the date of my appointment three times and simply rewritten over the original date. Glad i checked as it looked like the 27th to me, it was actually 21st, and i'd have missed it. grrrrrrrr. Think its time for some chocolate!
