    Still in ICU but everything going well. Pain under control and I am so impressed with Jake's treatment. The NHS at it's very best! The PMR is on it's very best behaviour, managing fine on 3mgs. Thank you again for your support, sat for hours on a very hard and uncomfortable stool listening to bleeping machine, your lovely messages make me smile and feel comforted. I'll go before I get soppy :lol:

    Dear Lizzie Ellen, You must be so relieved - and life can start again :D

    Glad to hear the PMR behaved itself and also the NHS,there do seem to be a lot of horror stories on this forum. Lovely news all round.

    Take care of yourself won't you? Green granny

    Green Granny - I think the NHS is absolutely ace at the apparently difficult stuff! The children's hospitals are outstanding usually (with a couple of recent exceptions in paed departments in ordinary hospitals).

    But the problems arise if you have something like we have where we are, at first glance at least, uninteresting. There's nothing to get your teeth into, nothing dramatic - \"ho hum, another LOL complaining about her rheumatics, what does she expect at her age?\". :roll: It's a culture that has arisen over the last 20 years (geriatrics wards used to be quite good for their purpose, horrid though they could be) and the whole of \"general medical\" became a refuge for LOLs and LOMs who had no other place to go after the homes were closed, blocking acute beds and generating a feeling of resentment, almost. Add in the practice of individual referral - you can only be under one consultant in hospital and have to be referred sideways rather than the \"team\" aspect that used to be the rule, and only one side of a disease is looked at and so things are missed. Sadly, it's likely to get worse as the only general practitioners are the ones in the community, no specialists in hospitals for the difficult and complex cases. :cry:
