Do you ever feel that unless you chase up everything, it gets forgotten about?? My podiatrist was going to write to my GP to organise ultrasound on my ankle and referral to orth. surgeon for the wayward toes. Well, I had my ultrasound (fibrosis and tendonosis??) but no word of the toes! So when I went to the GP this week for paperwork for my blue badge application, I asked where things were up to and guess what .... they hadn't bothered to read to the bottom of the letter!!
I saw the rheumy on 9th and she said she would arrange with the nurses to start the ball rolling re abatacept as the rituximab has stopped working after 4 rounds. I had to ring for a new prescription for my MTX injections today and asked where things were up to. They had had no word from the rheumy and she has now flown back home for the hols! So nothing is going to move swiftly
All of this really concerns me as I need to get back to full working order asap! I have been put on attendance review at work whereby any absences in the next 2 terms can result in a written warning and 2 of those can lead to dismissal. I really need union advice but we have no-one at school willing to take the rep jobs on as the reps for all 3 unions all 'left' or were told to resign before competency proceedings following endless lesson obs, book scrutinies etc. And the area rep is off long term sick!
Sorry for the rant - but thanks for listening!! Ailsa
