Off to Cambodia in a few hours
Oct. 27th, 2008 08:40 amI would ask everyone to send good thoughts my way...I'm off to Cambodia and will be there until Saturday. I am concerned about my feet, as there will be much walking, and I suspect that I will not be doing as much as I would have liked to do. I will need all the good thoughts (and prayers, if you're into that) as I can get.
When I get back to London, I will really have to ride herd on the diabetic foot clinic to get me proper shoes and trainers that are cushioned enough so that I don't get blisters or abrasions on my feet. I asked them about going private (as I could afford it), but they said that they would refer me to their orthotics clinic and that they didn't trust outside suppliers. However, had I gone ahead, I would have had proper orthotic shoes that I could use now. They haven't as yet referred me. I have an appointment second week of November and I will bring it up again then.
I also think that if this can't be remedied, I may have to reconsider coming to hot climates. I am unutterably sad at this, but if the doctors can't or won't help me, I'm left with no alternative. I pray that this isn't the case, and that something can be done. I can't believe that the NHS can't help me with this.
Thanks for reading this; I will keep in touch via Live Journal and Twitter (@chrishansenhome) as I am able.
