Hi all

After waiting since early October last year I finally have a date for my up& down procedure both on the same day.

I totally understand why we all have to wait due to the pandemic etc ,but at the same time it's very frustrating when your in pain 24/7 ....' it is what it is ".

I got the call this afternoon, the very nice lady explaining they are doing extra lists due to back log for the reasons we all know about .The lady also apologies for the long wait ," i said you don't need to a apologies to me I totally understand the have the up most respect for the NHS & all the staff " I thanked her sush a lovely lady .

That's my approach. I had a couple of visits to A&E last year, so I totally know what they're up against.

Glad you finally have your appointments through; the NHS have really been stretched and it is nice to know the staff are acknowledging how difficult it has been and offering you their apologies. I have nothing but respect for them all. Good luck with your procedures.

Thanks Ochg for that , been in 3 amberlances in 4 days with the pain ..they were going to keep me in ,but short of beds (I totally understand their situation), they have a new pain management plan which is ...Morphine & codamal 4 times a day or with the Morphine when needed at home .It's helps but still in pain .

Is what it is .Will up date soon
