...the real or imagined details of my medical history on the internet so I like publishing my grandmother's even less. However I think it's fair to say that since the codeine has been removed from her drug regime the improvement in her condition has been noticeable and dramatic. So much so that the Croydon Memory Service have been on the telephone to inform us that she's suddenly been moved up the waiting list and has been offered and appointment for a memory test next Wednesday (21/10). It's almost as if they've calculated that if my grandmother is left symptom free for a long period of time it will become more and more difficult for them to convince her that she needs the help of their service.
Also the Croydon Community Mental Health Team have been in contact with my father to inform him of a new specialist service they are offering patients with personality disorders just like mine. Quoting from the pamphlet this service is designed by service users for people who have been let down by more main stream services and may lead to employment with the [NHS] Trust as a group facilitator. This service is known as the Service Users Network (SUN) and throughout the literature is referred to as "The Sun." That made me smile and I'm sure the service will come out tomorrow because having kicked their arses in the fields of law, politics, psychology, medicine and economics I'm now mocking them through the medium of musical theatre.
