Another x-ray, another Consultant, another sick note !

Tweet

So I was at the hospital today …..ongoing saga of the broken arm and swollen hand/arm. We arrived in good time and sat waiting for 15 minutes when my name was called ….only to be told to go for an x-ray. I was asked if I knew where imaging dept. was ….since I have been going regularly since April I assured him I knew the way. Another wait in imaging….then it took 4 ….yes 4, people to sort the machine and get me in the correct position for the x-ray. Back to the fracture clinic, and after another short wait I was called in again. The Consultant looked about 12 years old ….but do not let first impressions form a judgement. He was the best Consultant I have seen so far. Talked about what had happened and my treatment so far. Asked how I was feeling in myself …. Looked at the x-rays and it is still not healed …it is healing but it is taking a long time ….as those of you following my journey will be aware. He is going to sort out an email to physio ….yes, we talked about the problems with the Doppler scans and no physio so far. He has given me another sick note for work taking me up to the end of October. Schools are back next week so I will miss the first half term completely. Anyway, I came out feeling that someone had finally shown some interest and hopefully now we can get things moving….
