Doctors

My injury is still affecting me and also affecting my life at home.  Today I have been unable to even move my head, the pain is that bad in my neck and back.  I telephoned the doctors regarding the results of my MRI.  They are back but have been reviewed and I was informed it's not urgent that I be referred to a neurosurgen.  Ok.  I was then told I had to see the rheumatologist again.  That's not what he told me.  I don't have an appointment so the earliest they can give me is 21st July.  Nearly 2 months time.  As you can imagine I am not best pleased and currently do not hold the NHS in high regard.  I cannot work so am now going to have to spend the next 2 months at home.  It may not be urgent to them but it is to me.  On the bright side they have offered to send the MRI to the rheumatologist to see if he can make a decision before then - thanks!

Injury

Having been injured in 2009 I am currently awaiting an operation.  As a result I am no longer able to drive to work.  The simple answer would be to place me at a station within walking distance of my home where I could do some form of work.  No - not likely - I have been informed that I will have to use public transport to get to my current place of employment.  A 15 min car journey is now likely to take me two hours by public transport that's if everything runs to time.  Not feasible and totally unrealistic.

The result is that I have now had to go off sick until things can be sorted and I can speak to my union.  There is supposed to be promotion for mothers going to work but believe me the way I currently feel is that I would be better off not working. 


The saga will long continue.....
