After the most painful night I have ever had. I started the day off by sending along e-mail to Dr Mark Abrahams, the pain consultant at Addenbrookes, commenting on the increase of pain that now appears to be affecting my entire skeleton and requesting him to take the matter in hand. Even if the nerve […]

I’m sorry to say I had another painful night. Fortunately I had a telephone consultation booked for today. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the so-called consultation turned out to be a nurse ringing to find out how I was. I just can’t get it out of my mind that there must […]

The first, of our two visitors today was Sarah Lahert, the Area Manager for Sumed International, the official agents for the Roho cushion that I have been going on about over the last couple of weeks. What it came down to was this the cushion, that my OT had kindly managed to extract from the […]

The first day of a busy week, starting with my quarterly assessment at Papworth Hospital, basically for my lung tests.

All’s well that ends well. After that flurry of telephone calls yesterday morning, the last one I received, in fact the last two, confirmed that the pressure cushion had arrived and indeed was delivered to me late yesterday morning. I was curious to know how this was achieved without Holly wheelchair knowing anything about it […]

I had a call first thing this morning from the local surgery saying that an appointment has been made for me at the Bishops Stortford hospital to have my cyst dealt with. No date but at least we can now organise It ourselves. Then later in the morning, a call from Papworth Hospital, confirming that […]
