The wife

Hi rily. I do wish Mrs all the very best for a good recovery. The lady we buy eggs from had a similar experience but due to her underlying health conditions has been told they cannot now improve matters which is very miserable for her. Once again the postcode lottery, as if she had been able to get to the city A&E they probably would have operated the day she fell despite covid. But the town hospital could not manage it. 

We must all keep up precautions with contagious new variants, if we want the NHS to be able to deal with everything else. Know on here I'm preaching to the converted but sadly not the case everywhere.

Hi rily,My best wishes to your wife.I hope the operation alleviates the pain.Love Jane x

Thanks Jane and Denby. I have tried to keep to all the regulations, even after the Cummings and Handcock episodes, but the latest "Boris Gang and we are Exempt" from  isolation beggars belief even though they did a U turn. No political views, but well, say no more. Best wishes.  

All the best for your wife! You are right: our doctors and nurses are incredible.  The best anyone could hope for. My TURBT finished at 8pm but I only came around from the anesthetic close to 9pm. My consultant was still there to talk to me. Their dedication and professionalism is amazing.

Best wishes to your wife Rily, hope the pain is finally over. Yes things in NHS and life in general not quite back to normal. Garviv 

Hi Rily, so glad your wife has now had the op to fix things. She has my sympathies. I broke my upper arm in 2016;  medics decided to give it a chance to heal naturally. Initially I thought this was a good decision to avoid surgery. Consequently arm in sling for 11 months!  Did not mend but to be honest no pain, though unable to use. I got really capable at swinging buckets with my left arm!  Finally got an op, rod and screws and a further 12 weeks in a sling. I did have to do some work to strengthen the wasted muscle but arm now almost good as new. Each time I went to hospital (every 6 weeks though out the year) I walked out without it costing me a penny. Got to love our NHS, delays, complications and all. It's Britain's proudest creation. xxx

Let's hope she is out of pain soon and quick recovery. 6 months in pain is a long time but like you say our NHS is amazing and they certainly do their best. We are incredibly lucky in the UK.

Sorry it’s a bit late rily but sending my best wishes to your wife for a speedy recovery.
