[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 615739, member: 84857"] [USER=103830]@Scouser58[/USER] Thanks for your reply....the change of date for the podiatrist appointment was due to the podiatrist calling in sick...I was there when they phoned to alter the appointment time. Don't know if the ulcer is getting worse / better as it is covered with a dressing and I can't see it....was hoping I would have been able to see it / speak to podiatrist about progress etc at appointment but will now only be able to go on what he tells me when I get home form work.....hence my worries / frustration. Have decided that I need to make an appointment to see my GP as soon as possible for myself.....the GP I prefer to see knows about the situation I am in and is sympathetic to my position but getting an appointment with him is like gold dust....nothing available for today but will check again for tomorrow. Whilst I appreciate that we will not be able to discuss directly my partner's medical condition I can use the list of worries / concerns as the "symptoms" of the way that I am feeling and the reasons why I am not coping very well at the moment......it will also raise awareness with a health professional of the current state of affairs and then it will be up to them if they choose to act on it or not...... Hopefully this will help to set my mind at rest on a few matters and I can look forward to planning my holiday on the theory / in the hope that it does not have to be cancelled.....whilst we have travel insurance I doubt that he will consider cancelling the holiday (booked and paid for in his name) so will either have to make sure that I am happy to go along or tell him that I am staying at home and he can go on his own.
