    The practice manager got back to me and told me my consultant is now no longer able to take NHS patients through his private practice, so I need a GP referral to our NHS hospital. Which I’ve asked for but have no idea how long it will take. However, Si reminded me that a while ago my consultant gave me his mobile number telling me to get in touch if I need anything. So, hesitantly as it feels like a cheek, I’ve promised to text him tomorrow.

    Edit:I had lunch with my best friend today and was talking about my hand. She suggested I think about underarm crutches. However, she, my husband and youngest all insist on being practical and logical about this - that I might find it easier even though they’re ugly as sin and don’t even come in colours other than NHS grey ...... begrudgingly, I have conceded that it might help if I use them just around the house. So I have ordered some. And am now going to sulk for at least a week

    Would forearm crutches be any good for you?

    Also...

    There is a way around everything

    I tried forearm crutches when my hand first started. It was the most horrible sensation. I felt dizzy, car sick and like I was going to topple over. Si made me send them back lol

    And yes, I know I can dress them up but they will always be the crutches Tiny Tim had

    OMG I love those!!!

    Paula, they may not be the crutches you would have.... but if they are going to help then you are going to have to find a way of prettifying them.... glitter tape, diamontes etc are all at your disposal!
