Despair
Where am I this week? Well I’m still in the woods. Things are improving in ways but I’m measuring this in weeks not days. Although my Chiropractor and Physio are helping me understand where I am I still don’t know why. Four weeks ago I spoke to my doctor who told me to self refer to the MSK unit, which I did and was given an earliest appointment of March 2nd. Last week concerned that my underlining cause should be investigated via X-ray, CT scan or MRI I connected my doctor again via the NHS app asking for advice, I again I received the self same email for me to self refer to MSK, I despair. For the first 12 years of my IT career I was fortunate to have private health care for my me and my family, although it was through a payroll benefit in the end it became too expensive for us supporting a young family, so after my last child was born I cancelled the policy, now I regret that. I fear and have little faith in the run down NHS, and the blame for that lines squarely with Tory Brexit Britain. My biggest concern is that I can’t walk any distance without being reduced to a slow hobble and I now walking with stick. I love to walk, even round my not so scenic local area I usual cover several miles a day, but my real joy is being out in lonely areas and walking forever, it’s unthinkable I’ll not be able to do that. Longing for the day I can be tramping about this wood again.
