Had a ct scan but i won't know any more until i either ring them or wait for a letter to drop by. I was a bit gutted to be honest as i really wanted to see the consultant afterwards, and finally here his plan of action, instead of we could do this?, or maybe that? I need a plan in place, so i can fit everything else around dates and recovery and such like. The more i mentally prepare myself for this the better i feel, but i'm still disgusted that it is left to the sufferer to chase up mobility aids for around the home after surgery. And if you don't claim any disability benefits your can't get a blue badge. But i think we should qualify for a temporary one while consultants know we are suffering and waiting for surgery, and recovery period. Why should we walk far, when we blantly can't? The royal orthopedic hospital in Birmingham has zero parking, so we have to park the car a MILE away, so your exhausted and sore before you've even got to the consultant!!!
My friend Rayray had her surgery on Monday and hopefully things have gone well, we don't know yet as there is no internet connections at the hospital, but hopefully she know's all the girls miss her off the forums, sending hugs and love her way. Love you Rayrayxxxxxxxxxxx

My girl Kate had her surgery yesterday, so i had thoughts of her for most of the day. And it's lovely to hear it went well and i've seen a lovely smiley photo of her on her blog as well as the scar photo already!!! We have missed her so much on the forums, so it's nice to see good news. Love you Kate xxxxxxx

Thanks for the kind thoughts on my blog, as always! =)
We did write a formal complaint and submitted it...but, I reckon if it is like any others submitted for this place in the last year as well, it will receive no attention or response also.
Gave it the 'ol college try...but realized sometimes, you just have to know when to walk away for healthy, safety, and sanity reasons.
PS.
Is there no valet parking offered there? Many hospitals I've been to either have it or are implenting it.
Just a thought...

I totally hear you on the blue badge thing. I applied before my scope as I really couldn't walk more than 50 m unaided and got the no, you don't receive any benefits answer. Think we should campaign for a temporary scheme !!
Glad you've had the scan anyway and hope you get some dates soon !

Thanks girls and yes we should campaign for blue badges, but Dee try and apply again as i got a yes, finally so i'm waiting on the badge, But for those that don't claim should still be allowed a temporary one with a Consultants advice saying so?? You have to describe your worse day to claim as CAB told me.
SHC i'm so glad you complained as they are so lousy and useless, could you not 'out' them in the papers or to another authority if they ignore your complaint, maybe you and other sufferers should band together and make a bigger impact.
hugs to all xxxx
