Hey gorgeous, I just was told new pdoc won't take him. I'm absolutely gutted. Really don't know what to do as far as finding him a good one. Sitting here at a loss right now. And now state is a National Emergency due to Covid arghhh brain in overdrive. Thinking should risk Astra xeneca rather than wait for Pfizer appointment in three weeks and be done with it...
And you are you ok?

Well shit @Anastasia @that'snot what you want. Sorry it hasn't worked out with the pdoc, did they give you any leads on where else to go? I know it was the one your son wanted, but I believe if he were meant to start seeing her, it would've happened. Everything happens for a reason, I'm sure of it. I wish it had fallen into place for you though. Sorry things are so shitty for you @Anastasia 💙

Yeah receptionist directed me to his current pdoc.
It's a bit political because dr I sent referral to reports to his current pdoc at the hospital my boy goes to. So I believe it is a case of Politics, meanwhile my boy is in the middle getting sh*those care and in dire need of a good pdoc. @saltandpepper

So sorry and disappointed for you @Anastasia regarding your Boys pdoc situation. I really dont know what to say ... I'm at a loss. Really feel for you and your boy. 😔
Hiya @saltandpepper Just home from my second physio apt for the week. Had traction and told to wear a rigid and uncomfortable back brace. Will try anything if it helps.

Oh gosh @Emelia8 kudos to you for giving it a go. Do you have to sleep with it? How long for? I'm sorry you're having to ensure that! Thinking of you sweetheart 💗

Hows physio meant to help if you've got a nerve being munched on by your spine @Emelia8? Is it something that can be corrected with exercise?

Hello @Eve7 thank you 💚💛☕
It's lovely of you to visit, tell me about YOU. Are you ok today?
Are you in lockdown still?
I've missed news this week. Purposely, it's too much.
How is your son's recovery going?
Did you enjoy the Olympics?
My friends son is from SA, she is mortified for her son and his team members 😔
I have been accepted into a mental health course at Tafe. I'm excited. May I ask does your role help or hinder?
Love you sweet Eve 💕
