I usually only look at the general forum but decided to have a peek at this one and boy did it make me ashamed I was complaining of having an arthritic knuckle taken out and not being able to use my hand fully for between 3 to 6 months.

Here in Canberra my partner and I have anything from 1 week to 3 weeks wait for an appointment with our doctors. We'd heard about a doctor shortage in the bush so were very surprised in Katherine NT, when he got an appointment in 2 hours! How long do others have to wait, and where are you?

I had a chest xray on Friday which showed that it is 'only' Asthma and not Pneumonia(thank God), but it's certainly hanging around this time. Maybe because I ignored it for several weeks before getting on t...

Is anyone on here an amputee or know of someone who is and how do they deal with it? Long story made short. My son who lives up in Biggenden will be having his left leg amputated in the next year or so. Probably around the knee area.

Start first round of chemo this wednesday as lung op had good result, 3 days then a spell until bloods are right.
