Subject: 4 days to hip op....
Hi guys I said I would keep you updated. 4 days to go the nerves are starting to kick in. Ocupational therapist came today to tell me about lovely things she can provide for me like a raised toilet seat :( and to tell me that i wont be able to bend for 3 months and will have to sleep lying on my back. I phoned the disability living allowance people to see if any joy with my application (made bout 2 months ago) they said no because of no feedback from my consultant. so without this i am unable to get a disabled parking badge also. sorry all sounding negative will try to be more positive but I think I am in a sorry for myself state of mind at the mo . x

Hi Steven, Am new to this website but a friend of mine had similar problems with a her badge. She got fed up as twice the doctors failed to complete the referral. In the end she wrote to her MP who sent a letter to her doctor and the DLA department and a few weeks later she finally got her badge. Don't know if it will help but its work a try. Generally you can email your local MP. Good luck with the Op

Hi Steven thanks for your reply I get angry that when people need genuine help it is made so difficult for them to get what they need. you would think that a copy of an nhs letter would be enough proof that help is needed with out us having to bother already busy consultants with providing the proof. Sorry to be so moany but I have always worked and dont ask for help generally. i feel like giving up but I guess thats why they make it difficult, after all who wants to fight while in pain or going through a difficult time? Thanks for being a sounding board for my moaning and groaning. Will keep everyone posted with my op and claim progress! :)
