Can't remember when I last did more than one post in one day!
After giving up two or three earlier attempts, got through to the GP surgery at 3:30. Told the receptionist the same story. "Can you come in this afternoon? 4:30?" Sue was otherwise occupied, so followed in her car as soon as she was free. I've got one of those removable handle things that fit into the car's lock mechanism on the door pillar, and not for the first time it saved the day. Don't think I would have got into the car, or out of it, without that "pink thing" as we call it, the original red plastic around the handle having faded long ago.
GP prescribed painkillers and precautionary laxatives, and while I was there Broomfield phoned to say they had organised a "fast track" MRI for Tuesday morning (7th) and a Multi-Disciplinary Team meeting (presumably including Orthopaedics) to chew over the results and decide on a plan. So now we wait, and cross fingers that getting out of bed in the morning won't be as difficult as it was today.
All credit to the NHS for speed. As so often, the clinical side works far better than the admin side.
