"Waiting time for surgery on my spine"

I have been on the general waiting list for surgery on my spine for 1.5 years and moved to the urgent surgery list 5 months ago……….. after my condition worsened. 

I am in a lot of pain and am totally frustrated and quite frankly depressed by the situation. I am also concerned that I am going to end up with permanent nerve damage.

I am unsteady on my feet and a fall would be really bad news due to me being on blood thinners for another condition.

My life is on hold until I have the surgery and start recovery. Everyone I speak to at the QUEH is very kind, but there is no movement and I was told recently that it might not happen this year.  I can give a lot more detail, but don’t want write more here.
