Leamington and the NHS

(John) It is nice to be back in Leamington and soaking in the festive atmosphere.  It was quite attractive this morning in the new fallen snow.  Mhari saw another doctor this morning, that will be the fourth.  An MRI is being scheduled for three weeks from today and the advice is too start to move the joint slightly to keep her knee from siezing and to otherwise keep using the brace unless she is intending to stay in one place for a while.  They think she has an injury to her ACL (Anterior Cruceate Ligament) and the swelling will take a long time to go down.  She will certainly not be able to fly as planned to India.    At this stage we won't know the extent of the injury until the MRI scan is done, but it will be at least six weeks before she can travel.  So we might decide that she and I stay put in Leamington while she recuperates and Lesley and Sam will continue on to India where hopefully we will be able to join them in February.  Or we may come up with another plan altogether.
