This has been a really unpleasant two weeks; my back brace broke and I had yet another dose of chemotherapy. I made a total of 6 visits to Doctors surgery's, hospitals, whatever.
At the beginning I thought I didn't need the brace - after a couple of days it was obvious I did. There was lots of pain, my back was getting worse and there was a real threat that I was going to end up doubled over.
In the end it all worked out - I got a new one and it was fitted properly at West Middlesex where the old one hadn't been.
I came out of the hospital and felt like new!
When I started the Blog I never put pictures of my face up - because I was campaigning hard about the hospital and that nearly always entails doing some things that are not necessarily legal!
So, just for old times sake here's a selfie;
These day's I'm not up to breaking the law any more (Grrrrrh!) so it doesn't matter.
As you can see I'm smiling again, with my new brace;
Possibly even getting a bit above myself;
It's all Robyn's fault, she was taking the pictures;
Many thanks to everyone at 'Surgical Appliances' at West Middlesex Hospital.
