it just appears to take so long to move along on the journey at Sunderland. I do appreciate that there are so many referrals and I consider my self so lucky to be on the road. It appears that those who make a fuss and are constantly pestering get quicker appointments. Also when you are older the journey is slower. I don't make a fuss so I feel I will be getting pushed further and further back. My mobility is becoming less and less by the time I am refereed I think my mobility will have diminished, I really struggle and was hoping that I would starting a new life by next Christmas, but it looks like it will be well over 2 years, even my GP is surprised at how slow things are going for me.
