So it all starts again.  I have had my check up at Stoke which is a long drive, close on three hours from us through the worst trafic you can imagine. (Well the worst I can imagine in ciew of my recent time spent in rural France and now in very rural Lincolnshire)

Floppy legs might mean cysts on the cord or a prolapsed disc so I have to go back for an MRI scan.  Botox to the bladder means a visit to the Urologist and I have to go back for that.  Ill fitting calliper which could be causing Autonomic Dysrefelxia attacks (mild but potentially threatening) means I have to have a fitting for a new one and new boots so I have to go back and with past experience that will mean about three or four visits.  Missing Dexascan (bone density) for the last five years means that needs to be done too so ..... I can have it done at my local hospital!!!  Hurrah!

Very interesting to some of you, Stoke is looking at the way that wheelchair users are handled and catered for in the community and in general hospitals in terms of check ups such as mammograms, smear tests, and  dentistry and other proceedures.  So if you have had any thing done outside of a spinal centre it would be interesting to hear your experiences in how you were handled and how you were actually treated.
