I'm back! After 1 week at Stoke Mandeville Hospital I discharged myself. I was tested for the hospital bug,MRSA and came up positive. This required me to be isolated and have reduced access to therapy. So I decided it was better to leave.

Let's talk about the NHS for a moment. How do they manage to take a working formulae and make such a mess of it?Take Stoke Mandeville Spinal Unit. It was once the premier site for spinal treatment in the world. Now it lags behind what other countries offer and struggles to get anywhere. I sat in a patients forum on Thursday night listening to the debate. It stinks. The way we manage hospitals now is like putting the companies secretary in charge! Everything is all teas and toilets or to put it another way, its like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Well I must dash. I have much to organise, now that I'm back. I will write again about Doctors Nurses and hospital, but for now thanks for all your wishes and support.
