She said we must've misheard but that's a copout as Baz asked him specifically how long it would be before I actually started, and he said in return just as specifically that it would be within a month. Baz is fuming. I've given up, I'm not going back to them now. They've really blown it over and over.
I am going to ask the GP for another referral as I don't agree with anything the pain clinic consultant said about SCS or about my meds. I might ask for a referral to Bath, or locally to North Tyneside, or both. I also have to face OT today and ask for a bloomin' wheelchair assessment. Acceptance. Pfft. Not likely.  |
Good for you Kathy - keep your sense of humour, even if at times like this it has to be a bit dark and sarky lol
Try to see that OT appt for what I now see mine was (I dreaded it too, believe me...) - it is the first step to you reclaiming a large part of your life. Namely fresh air, distance, and speed! Don't leave that OT office until she's agreed for you to have the assessment, ditto the GP if you have to actually get the referral through them. Hold your head high and sod the lot of them
Good luck, and I totally agree with getting another doc referral, that lot sound like a complete waste of your time and energies. I'd write to them though, and point out a few homes truths...
Onwards and upwards. Don't let the b******s grind you down!!!!!
