Right ON DeeDee!!! Gosh, I can’t believe how patient you have to be. It’s truly mind blowing but maybe that’s a common characteristic of government medical institutions. I’ve heard, for example, of similar experiences in Canada. Anyway, I’m thrilled for you and can’t wait to hear all about your experience on March 8th! ❤️ Emma

That is wonderful news, Dee! I know how it feels and share with you. I remember that "WOW! This is gonna happen" feeling. Don't let go of it!

Hi Monica, Scotland has it's usual stormy winter weather, rain, ice, sleet and snow, but our coverage is rarely more than a few inches and we are used to 40-50 mph winds. The whole of Scotland is in Lockdown and all non essential shops which includes gyms and spas have been closed since March last year. There are little to no face to face appointments with anyone at the moment, so everyone is facing the same delays. The only way to get on HRT quickly is to pay privately and I am simply not in a place to go down that route. However the lack of centres and routes is not a covid issue but a government funding one. Every working age person in the UK contributes to a National insurance plan which covers free healthcare for all, but the Conservative government has been doing its best to sell it off piecemeal and privatise the service for years so they regularly underfund it and then point out the waiting times as its failure... Grr. I am excited to be starting to move forwards though
