I have a plate in my back that has been causing problems. On some days I can barely stand or walk. I visited the doctor last Thursday and today my appointment came through for the Spinal Injuries Unit.... 17th December. Not bad eh?
An assessment will be made, x-rays and scans taken, and I am told to take in loose clothing, a wash bag, night clothes and a supply of any drugs I take in case I am admitted for treatment on the day.
If that's what it takes then that's what it takes.
