Good news I think (2).

[FarmerD]

Saw my consultant today and he arranged a CT scan,which was done straight away,that was bit of a shock.He has referred me to the Brompton where I might be able to have some valves fitted,not sure of the details will let you know when I do.In other news ,got my scooter on Monday and it,s great the "Davmobile" will be getting plenty of use while the weather holds up,happy days! D.

Your consultants on the ball, lets hope you get a referral soon Royal Brompton is brilliant. Like the sound of the scooter, my husband said I should have one but I think I would be lethal.

Good luck

Thanks Kimmy,yes my consultant,s a funny guy we always have a laugh but he seems to know what he,s doing.You should get a scooter they,re quite easy to handle,I got insurance just in case lol !D.

[Hidden in reply to kimmy59]

Kim, if I can manage to use a scooter then I am sure you could. I have never learnt to drive so it was very new to me working out how to steal the thing. A few weeks into using it, I am doing great.

It helps me 'walk' around our local shops without having to keep on stopping (even with my oxygen in use).

Go on, get one and become free!!!

Hugs

[kimmy59 in reply to Hidden]

I might you know, I have oxygen to walk and I use it for exercise so I try to be as mobile as possible.

It sounds like you are in very good hands at the Brompton Dave. Fingers crossed the news is all good. Have you got an 'L' plate on your scooter? Happy scootering in your Davmobile. xx

[bobsmum]

Enjoy your trips out it's good to be independent luckily I have hubby to drive me around

[FarmerD]

Thanks Bobsmum,got my ramp today so all systems gooooo lol.D.

[out-for-lunch]

Good luck mate.

Brompton are more likely to fit coils than valves. Coils are good.

[FarmerD]

Thanks,not sure ,when I asked consultant about the coils he had a look at my CT scans and said I was,nt suitable but then when I had these new CT,s he he said about valves so we shall see . He did keep saying "don,t get your hopes up".Which I have of course lol.D.

Tesco have sent the same type of email, they are having an hour for over 70's on Mon, Wed, Frid 9-10 lets hope they can operate this and all supermarkets join in. It would be better to have the same days and times for all to save confusion x
