Mobility issues

Firstly I want to thank every single person who took the time to respond to my previous post regarding my horrid doctor, it meant more than you know and gave me the kick that i needed.

I have been out and tried a variety of scooters and wheel chairs and now know exactly what I need. Despite her completely knocking my confidence I have to remember that its my life, not hers and I have to do whats right for me. So in the not to distant future I will be whizzing around everywhere in comfort.

Whilst I wait for my wheels to arrive I will be making a formal complaint about this new doctor. My previous doctor was lovely and knew I would not have made this decision lightly and would’ve supported me wholeheartedly, so its horrible her being replaced by a very young inexperienced doctor fresh out if medical school who clearly has no understanding of serious issues.

Onwards and upwards peeps.

Really pleased to hear. Enjoy your outings now. I also think you are doing the right thing in making a formal complaint regarding your GP. Happy outings!

Thank you. We are all relieved and have already started planning day trips for the first time in 18 months. Honestly though some doctors have absolutely no idea what we go through on a daily basis. Best wishes to you. 🙏

I tried to say excellent earlier - HU had banned me for posting spam. The techies have been busy today - the computer spam filter was not behaving.
