Finally, the Consultant recontacted me 20 mins ago, what a complete and utter waste of time. Ran through all previous ops & consultations etc - to cut a long story short. Yet ANOTHER multi disciplne meeting between consultants in Bedford, Cambridge and RNOH is scheduled for next Tuesday. I said you had one of those last November and this appointment was the result. Oh (he said) this time we are meeting specifically about you and the objective is to draw up a plan of action 8 months waiting to hear that, meanwhile...
Indeed, not very happy Taff at all, unfortunately there is nothing I can do. If I went privately, it would be with the same people, and medically, I do trust them implicitly. The real problem is, after 7 operations, further surgery is not an option. It is a nerve based pain, so ONE of the very few options is to 'zap' all of the nerves in an around my lower spine & sacral joints. The Neurosurgeon(s) are extremely reluctant to go down this route because of the serous implications. As Byron said, more laudanum. Disgraceful - (in) Spades
Seafarer - Seasalter ** ** a lovely village near Whitstable, ideal for wild fowl and a selection of great pubs. Perfect combination (for me)
