A good result here now.
Had a call this morning regarding my call yesterday.
It was the OT lady and she found the referral had been sent entity to the wrong people, she made enquiries and found it.
She could have done a home visit to see what I needed in relation to aids for 2alking. But would be end of may at the earliest. Then suggested if I could get to the out reach centre where the physio is, then I could see her there so arranged to go for 12.15. I did have to wait. She has given me a 4 wheeled walker which has a seat on it.
While I was there, she made an appt to see the neuro OT man for 8th May. He only works at the outreach centre on Tuesdays, but it's only just over 2 week wait. Am happy with that.
Apparently, the physio that I saw last week, was concerned that there could also be a hip or back problem, hence seeing the neuro OT. He will do a full skeletal assessment and that way if I need xrays/scans, he is the 9ne that does the necessary referrals.
If he feels I Don, t need these, then do a balance course. If I get any worse or have a bad fall, then to call and will be given a earlier appt but that means going to Ipswich h hospital.
The lady was so apologetic that the referral from physio was sent to wrong people.
The service so far I feel has gone beyond very helpful and am now being listened too
