Is odd that I started this thread. (Can the title be changed?)
What is interesting is back then I was told to expect a 14 month wait where I finished the assessment process several days ago. Understandably that even the best intentioned plans can take longer, and I was told by another that the waiting times where I was living are longer than the wait I had because this new area has shorter waiting times than where I was. Where I was, doctors were told not to put anyone else forward to be assessed. Problem is they could do with more experts to assess and it is not an easy thing to find such tallented people. Is also not easy when certain healthboards could do with a few more funds and are trying to balance their books while still trying to provide a service.

Welcome to the Spectrum!

Now that it is official you might be able to use the Wrong Planet lounge!
(When you find the lounge, please send me directions to it.)

It's on the third floor, next to the pool. You'll see it when you get off the elevator.

Haha! I don't use elevators after I tried them and got stuck in three different elevators within a relitively short time of each other, and since then I have avoided them as I am a bit scared of them. Have always used the stairs instead even when I visited my nephew who was working at the top of the tallest building in Wales.

So, you've got friends in high places?

I used to have high friends in places.
