update

i cant even think of a witty title.says a lot how things are at the moment.not been feeling well,MS playing games,mum not too good,arthritis bad.just thought i would post as i have the pre-op assessment for stents tomorrow,and i will have the angioplast next tuesday,4th of august.2 stents will be fitted.hopefully this will cure the angina.also i am still waiting for an appointment with a consultant about back.it has been so painful now for ages,i hadn't heard results of MRI scan i had on it,so rung the triage.she hadn't had the results back,which as it had been 6 weeks or more was a bit stupid,she rang me later,said she had got hold of the scan and it showed that there was a problem and i did need to see a consultant,and she was going to sort it.that is 3 weeks ago,still waiting.
i will know tomorrow if i do have to be in hospital overnight,rather sure i will,as appointment is at 11.00am.at least i do have carers sorted to look in on mum.take care all.

Mort, I am so glad you posted. If you had not you were going to get an email today with lots of questions. I am not sure since have not experienced it myself but have heard that fusing disks or vertabrae relieves a lot of pain. Keep om fighting Mort. You do not give up. I just want something to make you feel as good as possible, which with all the problems you have I hope the stents and back repair make the MS a bit easier for you to tolerate. Big Hugs from Lucy

Sorry you are in the mud old chap. Hopefully the operation will get you to a position you can work ont he other stuff.
A little rediculous about the time for reading a scan, huh?
TAke care as you can,

It will never cease to amaze me that I can hear from a friend in New Zealand within seconds but somehow it can take a month to pass a small bit of information from one office to another. So stupidly cruel to force you to wait weeks in pain for them to read a file. It rings to many bells for me with the way we were treated by Herrad's neurologist. Insensitive git!
Any way I hope this is the start of some progress for you and you get some some relief.
Take care,
Richie

Pain is a drain on your quality of life, Mort, and I hope it gets better. Good luck with the angioplasties.
