What occurs once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?
22:46pm; what is this one?
Weight in my belly,
Trees on my back,
Nails in my ribs,
Feet I do lack.

I am here, my cousin, with my daughter, her son, her step-daughter and the good abbé, and the finest weather in the world.
-Madame de Sévigné. Livry, October 28th, 1685
A good morning it isn't with rain beginning to lash down from a sea-like sky, the astonishing warmth of yesterday now past like a golden memory, fresh though it is, and the warm legacy just stumbles into today, at least here in Norfolk.
I stand here...well, not entirely true, due to my spine I can't stand anything...
yesterday, apart from enjoying the unprecedented glory of 'weather' I also had another health shock, setback even. What was it, and what am I on about?
I'm on about the now official "mismanagement" of my health case at the hospital. Wednesday was the day when I had confirmation, that my waiting for urgent spinal MRI, let alone even more urgent treatment, is the result of the said hospital loosing my papers. They cannot find my records!! What bumbling fools, what shocking irresponsibility.
But before their admission, what was their declaration? It was to denounce and overrule the consultant's and GP's diagnosis as "normal", "non-urgent" and "an age-related bone movement"...this is disgraceful!
I saw the x-ray, read the physiotherapist's report, attended my GP's surgery, all showing the extent of my spinal injuries....the missing bone since childhood, the use of the word 'fracture' by a senior consultant, the physiotherapy for 'slipped disk'.
It then transpired, after third party pressure, that the hospital finally conceded they do not have ANY paperwork relating to myself and my MRI appointment, (so all my waiting has been for 'nothing'?), and their initial words were without proof. That is shocking in the extreme...in my case spinal injuries, if it happens to others, who knows?
So, I could have waited for years, patiently, with NO CHANCE of ever being seen, by which time my spinal condition would have neccessitated the need for a wheelchair...a further and unneccessary cost to the country, as well as a huge social adjustment for self...I am still heading in that direction now.
What shocks me most, is that I was ignored, (of course, I'm only a human condition), my GP was ignored, and finally I snapped and went to my excellent MP and local press...only, ONLY then did any truth come out. And it is far from being resolved even now.
This is how things are in the local hospital. I, of course placed myself below those who required urgent orthopaedic treatment, and like so many British people, waited my turn and some...without any wish to appear selfish, despite the intense pain...until now, waiting since January's collapse, March's x-ray confirmation...is long enough.
So, it means, with respect, that a hospital can fob-off anyone to reduce numbers, no matter what the diagnosis??
It means, that only those that fight, and fight hard, will EVER get seen?
It means that only those who seek help of higher powers will be treated as seriously ill?
What of the rest?
I never expected such an appalling situation for the treatment of fellow human beings, and still retain faith in the doctors and nurses from around the world who are themselves breaking their backs to help people, but the administration is not bringing hospital's to their knees; it has already broken the backbone of their very rôle.
Cling not to experiences for ever-changing are they
