I am still waiting to hear from the back specialist, :roll:
And it looks like it could be a long wait, One of the doctors at my surgery
as just had his back operated on after waiting 4 months & that wouldn't
be on the NHS would it.
But at least I have had my appointment through for my eyes, I went to hospital 2 weeks ago after being referred there from my doctors,
they gave me another field test, then said my specialist would be in touch,
I have glaucoma which a doctor informed me of, I knew I had pressure behind my eyes but nobody had told me what was causing it,
I hope your Arthur is not giving you all to much pain :)
Love Sue x

    Oh queenfan, here we go again. Can't write much as cross-eyed with pain. When better I will answer properly. Take care. DD

    Hi Sue

    I hope you hear about your back very soon.

    I had my back done in two months after it finally gave out on the NHS as I totally lost the feeling in one leg (it was dead :( ). The only resaon I had to wait that long was due to the inflamation.

    Having said that I had been going to docs for 20 years before that with back probs. You be assertive if you can.

    So sorry about the glaucoma too. I do hope they can help?

    Hope you are ok today otherwise?

    Love

    toni xx
