I have been back and for to Shropdoc been back and for to hospital twice. Once was to be admitted and was promised there was a bed for me from the doctor at the out of hours service only to discover there wasn't so I ended up begging to go home rather than be stuck in a wheelchair all night uncomfortable and unable to obtain my medication.
After examination by a doctor I was finally allowed home as there were no beds.
This weekend has been pretty much the same.
Got up all bouncy on Saturday morning wanting a shower and hoping to go shopping. Got to the last step at the bottom of the stairs with Steve's help and I screamed with pain searing through the whole of my body. I was in spasm and could not move. My medication had already been taken so was not able to take any more.
Due to the out of hours service advising us on Wednesday morning not to call them out again for this problem Steve went to a neighbour who is a nurse. She said we had no choice but to call for an ambulance. Paramedics arrived gave me gas and air but what I really needed was a muscle relaxant injection which they are not allowed to give due to my conditions.
They then called the out of hours doctors who in turn came out at 3pm and administered said injection. Steve asked if we could have the medication in tablet form to prevent having to call them out and they refused saying that they had to have some back up for when my medication fails and besides the injection works quicker than the tablets.
So that was me shut down for the weekend.
Hope everyone else had a better time of things than I did
Best wishes
