O/T BIT OF A LONG SHOT, AM DESPERATELY IN NEED OF SOME ADVICE

[Earnie's bench seat]

Hi MAAF,

I live in London and showed this thread to my girlfriend who's an A&E nurse in a London hospital.

She said that there has been excellent advice given in this thread, but one thing that perhaps hasn't been said yet is that if you're seriously worried for your or her safety, at any time of the day, call 999. She said that this is a warranted reason to call for help, and the staff in A&E and the paramedics are trained to deal with this kind of thing and they would take it seriously.

Put it this way, if an A&E nurse is telling you that you can go to A&E with this, it's a valid reason to go.

Keep us posted. We're all here for you.

An excellent piece of advice.This way the whole thing is documented and they'll have to act on this.

If I could add, don't neglect yourself. If there's any way you can get your hip[s] working again - or at least some significant improvement - then do it
