Re: A setback
Hi Guys had my medical today and its's a bit of a setback.
as you know I had an accident in April and damaged my neck got spinal cord compression.
I had my medical today,they said they will wait for a year to see if I improve if not they will then see about an op, I may be deteriorating as my face has recently gone numb or I may have fluctuating symptoms only time will tell.
but it may mean the end of Oz for me as I want my OH with me he has been in Oz since January and we are on his sponsored visa. He can't have more compassionate leave, so if he comes back to be with me it means the end of Oz.
am feeling a bit choked.
