I Bought my First Walking Stick

[neonlyte]

On Doctor's orders

It's black, collapsible, with an imitation 'bone' handle that fits nicely in the palm so it doesn't require too much grip.

We received confirmation yesterday that the nerve damage is not reversible, we now need to discover if is stable or declining. Likelihood is declining in the leg since previous nerve measurements in the arm indicate a 30% deterioration over two years. As a consequence, I can now write a decent paper on neural transmission in peripheral nerves, specifically Ulnar (arm) and Sural (lower leg)

Apart from feeling thoroughly pissed off, I've a good couple of weeks since last posting. Christmas and New Year was a hoot - largely too much wine combined with a decent drug cocktail - and I managed to get absolutely rat-arsed at the wedding of our best friend's son. Thanks due to my son-in-law who thought I needed to unwind.

During the sober periods, I've been working with my solicitor to decide financial compensation when the writ is served on the incompetent Neurologist. I so wish I could serve it myself just to see the expression on his face. It's fucking crappy to be told you are worth less because of your age... if you are going to sue for medical negligence, do it while you're young

*HUGS* buddy. I'm hoping the court gives you leave to skin the bastard alive.

 

[elfin_odalisque]

Like what Imp said. There's no real way to express the sympathetic anger.

 

[redpaint]

Wishing you good luck on nailing him.

I hope you get that bastards license to practice revoked.

*hugs* Neon, you're in my thoughts all the tme you know that.

 

[neonlyte]

Thank's, beautiful.

*HUGS* buddy. I'm hoping the court gives you leave to skin the bastard alive.

Wouldn't that be a treat!

Like what Imp said. There's no real way to express the sympathetic anger.

Thank you. Keeping a proper perspective requires I control my anger. Luckily, I'm an optimist married to an outrageous optimist.

Wishing you good luck on nailing him.

Thank you. Stopping him from 'playing God' with other patients lives is my major concern.[/QUOTE]

Second step, after the negligence case will be to refer the matter to the UK Medical Council

*hugs* Neon, you're in my thoughts all the tme you know that.

As you and yours are in mine, stay strong, V

It sucks to have one I know. I still use mine when its very bad.

As everyone says, you are to be admired for your strength of character.
I think you are to be admired for your strength of will

I always thought a walking stick was rather magical. One could use it to do whatever they dreamt. What do you dream?

I just wanted to tell you that I love you, as always.

Have you ever seen House? Walking sticks and misanthropy are so fashionable at the moment. It means you've got a ready-made weapon at all times and can crush the feet of annoying people without fear of reprisal.

My thoughts are with you. And with your lawyer, whom I'm sending "Faster Litigator, Kill, Kill" thoughts to.

[Guest]

Damn. I'm so sorry.



(But men with canes can be pretty hot, yannow?)

 

[OhMissScarlett]

*hugs* Neon.

I had a cane for a while and it's much more practical than crutches. Also, it's nice to shake it at the kids when you're yelling at them to get off your lawn.
