Hello friends!
Thank you all for your support and comments regarding my last entry, on here, on Facebook and elsewhere. Without going into detail, I can tell you I had a very prompt reply from my Assembly Minister who is deeply concerned over the situation, he has asked me a lot of questions, and I feel that he is going to become actively involved in trying to sort things out with our health board. I will do a more comprehensive update shortly.
In the meantime, last Sunday. I hurt my back quite badly, enough that my doctor wanted to admit me to hospital for a few days. I declined but right now , due to pain and a morphine induced sog, I don't have the hwyl to say much, but suffice to say, phone calls have been made, referrals and appointments have been made, people have been coming and going all week long with equipment and help, and the irony is not lost on me that it took one very nasty, not Parkinson's related accident to make people sit up and take notice. I will give a proper update when the morphine sog lifts. There is much to say!
In the meantime, I hope you all have a lovely Christmas. I will do my best here, but it will be lonely. At least there is food in the house, if only I had the appetite to eat it, and there is bound to be something to watch on the telly.

Happy Christmas
I am so glad you have help now - even though it was your back problem which prompted it, and not the actual Parkinsons. Having written to your MP though seems to have caused waves, and it sounds like he will be on top of this debacle.
ReplyDeleteLike you, no appetite, but Gabby has just arrived with all sorts of tempting goodies, so I may force something down :) I will think of you tomorrow - Christmas is not much fun on your own. (((HUGS)))
So sorry to read about your accident but it is good to hear that things might happen to make your life easier.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have the best Christmas possible and get some appetite back.
Wishing you a delightful Christmas and a healed back.
ReplyDeleteGentle hugs!
I am so pleased the Assembly Minister got back to you and is looking into the matter.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about the fall you had and the pain you are in. I hope the pain eases soon.
I hope you manage to find some appetite to eat tomorrow Debbie and enjoy some tv. Nadolig Llawen.
It's good to hear that you got a response to your excellent letter so quickly. I hope your Assembly Minister runs with it and rattles a few cages.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that you have been in the wars but at least you have managed to avoid hospital over Christmas with all it's attendant bugs/viruses/Covid. Far better to be in the warmth and comfort of your own home.
Thank you for your Christmas wishes. Nadolig Llawen to you too - just don't ask me to pronounce it or you may do yourself another injury laughing!
I am so pleased the Assembly Minister got back to you and is looking into the matter.

I'm glad someone is now paying attention, and hope that there will be a swift and effective outcome to your letter. Meanwhile, best wishes for you on Christmas day, and wishing for good things in the new year.
ReplyDelete(((((Dearest))))) Thinking of you on Christmas Day and praying that your heart is full of peace and joy, not because of troubling circumstances, but because of the love our Heavenly Father has lavished on us with the gift of His Son. May the new year bring good news on the medical front for you -- sounds like the ball is finally rolling! Blessings, Marigold
