Holidays

As we've all been seriously down and frustrated with my immobility that we've booked a holiday to get away for week, rest relax and forget our troubles!! Well works out that i'd be on holiday when the consultant appointment is, so i've had to cancel with the notion of i bet i'll have to wait even longer until i get to see him now, possibly an extra month so sometime in July. No make it 2 months extra!! I'm gutted, but at the same time i need to get away and forget home life if only for a week. So on the positive side if i see him in August i'll probably have surgery come September then and i'd be recovering over Autumn and Winter when the weather is rubbish anyway and i wont want to go out! So i'm desparately clinging onto that as my silver lining, otherwise i'll murder someone. I'm guessing the 18 week clock stops because i've had to reschedule one appointment, talk about punishment for trying to have a life.

My friends are doing well and both have been little troopers with physio, and coping with it all, i'm so proud of them. Huggles Rayray and Kate xx

That is so typical that your appointment is the same time as your holiday! Aaargh, you must be so frustrated. Maybe you can get a cancellation? I so agree with your last post about parking badges. They should be able to issue temporary ones that last for 3 or 6 months. Just getting in and out of the car on crutches is hard if someone parks next to you.
Hang in, you will get all your dates sorted soon,

It never rains when it pours eh?? We should campaign for the badges as they could be sent out only on Specialist s say so, with medical history to back it up?? I've tried twice so far for a cancellation but no luck, but i wont give up, or like Spam1 says on injuryupdate i'm going to ask about a phone consultation as he's decided what he wants to do, he just needs to tell me, and arrange the date. Fingers crossed they will, i'll ring his sec direct rather than outpatients department.
Glad you've been sprung out honey but take it easy xx
