Next Day
Tuesday July 22nd 2008
Well it was a lot to take in. We talked about it over night and generally we both seemed happier for any necessary treatment to be carried out at San Jaime. Phoning them to make an appointment however, was entirely a different matter. Derek never, but never , makes telephone calls. My call was passed around through numerous departments, most of which had no idea what this crazy English woman actually wanted. Then suddenly a little light dawned as I spoke to a young woman by name of Carmen Maria. She promised faithfully, that she would sort it out and call me back later that day. Normally I hate that ominous promise, waiting for a call that never comes, but it was the best we had achieved so far. It was nearly 8pm before she returned the call. Still, she had found Derek’s notes and now knew what was needed. An appointment was made to see Dr Gomez at 5pm on Wednesday. So far, so good.
