Thank you Gem.

Yes, I don't do waiting very well. You come across the phrase, "Lord, give me patience - and make it soon!"? That's me! Trouble is, in all seriousness, that I imagine all the worst case scenarios with the hospital. I hate conflict and that is what I am scared this will become. I'm about to go and get some rest - playing some computer games has passed the time, and it looks like the marking I should have done is going to have to wait a bit.
