I have pretty much been limping since the triathlon. I'm
starting to walk normally again and am not quite as depressed as I was straight
after the event. Finishing something you have been training for and then
watching your fitness decline sharply, because of injury, is quite demoralising
in a way I wasn't expecting.
I’ve been to casualty, fracture clinic, sports injury clinic
and physiotherapy. I've been back in to
hospital because a second opinion (unsolicited within the hospital) wanted
convincing I wasn't fractured; and I’m currently waiting for an MRI before my
physio programme is finalised.
If I had gone private all this would be sorted by now, but
that misses the point somewhat. I have been treated by professionals keen, not
only to get me back on my feet and make me a productive worker, but to make me
back into the person I want to be.
All free at the point of service.
No one needs to get rich to make healthcare a worthwhile end
in and of itself.
We have one of the best healthcare systems in the world and
it is being dismantled in a single term of government. A government nobody
voted for, of which neither party prioritised demolition of the current system
of healthcare.
