I'm so sorry that you are having such a bad time Black Knight. Having broken my wrist a while ago I can understand how awkward it makes things. I hope that they can help with your low blood pressure. Take some time just to stand still and get your balance when you get up won't you. My dad had low blood pressure too and I used to have to tell him not to rush. I hope you get your scooter tomorrow. Will you be able to manage it with your arm in plaster?
Take care, hugs for you and Teresa xx

So sorry you are having such a bad time. Now that the hospital has seen how bad your arthritis is perhaps they will refer you to a specialist?

Really hope that your visit to the hospital results in some much needed help for you.
