199,850 views - by tomorrow the Blog should have reached 200, 000 which is something very special.
I probably ought to remind myself why I started the thing in the first place - I was sent home by Ashford and St. Peter's hospitals sent me home for a week with a broken dislocated ankle.
I ended up back at hospital being told I could easily have lost my leg and I needed emergency operations. I had two and was there for the best part of a week.
On my many, later journeys back to hospital I got to talking to people and it was obvious that there were lots of similar or even worse problems. But patients were too scared to complain or do anything about it.
So, I started the Blog to publicise what was going on and provide an internet focus onto the problems.
All these views and years later I'm not at all sure that this has done any good. Problems continue, targets are just being missed, disabled people now have to pay to park their their cars when they attend the hospitals. really, it's got worse since I started.
But I'm not sure - it could well be worse without the glare of publicity. At least that's what I hope and why I go on with this every day.
In the meantime thank you for reading the Blog, getting in touch and sending messages of support. It's all very welcome.
Thank you.
