Hi I phoned the consultants secretary tuesday asking if they had a date for my knee manipulation,she said I am down for 23rd Feb. ( 2 weeks today) by a registrar, as consultant is on his hols. So hopefully this will get my knee moving ,if not goodness what they will do next.
The pain is still horrendous and my leg tends to buckle under me now.
Also having problems with work, they keep demanding when I'm coming back to work (althout their OT said how long is a piece of string) evn this morning I phoned my boss to give her the date for manip. op, and all she said was so are you going to be out that day or kept in ,i don't know.. think she thinks I will be going back to work day after op and everything will be hunky dory (I WISH)
Beginning to think she might be thinking of paying me off as everyones hours have been cut... As if I haven't got enough to worry about without worrying whether I have a job or not.
Really feel like sawing this leg off at thigh at moment ,just so fed up with it all now ...
Sorry for my wee rant
Eileen

    Hi Eileen,
    You are right you have enough to worry about without being pressurized by your boss.
    Not easy I know but concentrate on getting yourself right first and foremost. Two weeks must seem a long time when you are in so much pain. Hang on in there, give us the nod when everything is confirmed for the op date and we will be in your pocket and sending positive vibes your way.
