My accident happened in May 2016. That day on attending A&E I was treated by a nurse that I found rude and abrupt. I was discharged non-weight bearing with no crutches. I then had to buy a set of crutches to be able to move. I returned to A&E a few weeks later to be given an appropriate set of crutches and a moon boot.
It is now a year later and I am still in a moon boot and on crutches! ! !
I have lost my company car, my job due to my inability to walk without crutches, I cant go out on my own because I am scared of falling due to the instability in my ankle and I am being treated for depression.
The worst thing is that I have missed valuable time with baby who was only weeks old at the time of my accident.
I was told that I would see a specialist in April. Since keeping in contact with their secretary this has changed to June and today I was told I now would not see her to August. I find it appalling that there only seems to be one specialist who can see me. My Gp has written a letter to explain the pain that I am in and I myself have written a letter of complaint with no success except a letter detailing the waiting times. I wonder what I will lose next while waiting patiently to be seen.
