What was the outcome for these GN's.

I'm the leg lady!

I'm just back from my 5th visit to the Wound Clinic. There's been a couple of glitches along the way, but the leg is now healed and today, after almost 9months, we ditched the horrible compression bandages and I now have a compression sock.

I've to try with the sock until next week's appointment but I can call on the District Nurses if I have any problems before then.

I just wish I'd known about the Wound Clinic 9 months ago, and also that I could have had my dressings changed at the weekends by a District Nurse which my surgery should have been organising. Those two things woud have saved me a lot of discomfort, pain and distress.

When I first posted about my leg, I was very low in spirits. The wound clinic has been brilliant apart from one "Cruella de Nurse" whose patronising and threatening attitude set me back a bit when I was feeling vulnerable and depressed. My GP referred me for anxiety counselling as it was all getting me down a bit.

I suspect this could have been treated quicker and better but I can't substantiate that so I just have to move forward from here.

The lovely people on here kept me going through a very tough time. I shall be eternally grateful

How lovely to hear from you and for you to finally be seeing light at the end of a very long and painful tunnel. I hope you continue to improve.

So good to hear your positive news ferry23. 💐

Fannyconforth hasn't been on here for quite a while. I miss her posts.
I also miss Trisher/Glorianny even though we fought like cat and dog.

I cant see up to date posts for either. So perhaps I have got that wrong.

I rather miss FannyCornforth , though I believe she decided to leave.

I think I see her post occasionally?

And Maddyone?

i will take a look for both

And of course not forgetting Gillybob(?) who was going through a dreadful time and was caring for her husband who was ill, and also helping her single daughter and grandchild. She was at her wits end and suddenly just left GN. I often wonder how she is getting on and hope her life got easier.

Yes I do sometimes think about this poor woman, as well. She lived in the North East, if I remember correctly. It was a dreadful time for her. I do hope things improved.

And she also worried about the staff who worked for her husbands company too, I think . I’ve actually been thinking about her recently.

I’m so glad you’ve made excellent progress, Ferry. . Your thread was very concerning. It really shouldn’t be so hard, should it? It would have cost the NHS far less if you’d been looked after correctly from the start. A stitch in time and all that.

Thank you for the info re Callistemon. I have to say, I’ve no idea who she might be now!

How very nice to hear from you Ferry with much better news.

Thanks for starting the thread Sarnia. I have missed posters too.

Gillybob, Fanny, Misadventure, quite a long list and I've only been on about 6? years.

Who was the gran who lived in a narrow boat? Then there was Missedout . Maybe they have moved on...

Does anyone know what happened to Germanshepherdsmum? I think she was banned around the same time as Callistemon but hopefully she came back under another name too?
I miss her good advice on things legal

What I take from this thread is that many of us do care about people we don't really know...
And that is a very good thing - and one to be welcomed and thankful for!

ferry you have been to hell and back this year, and hopefully you will not need to return to the surgery for dressings ever again.

It is difficult to put all that behind you and move on, but at least you will no longer be forking out for taxi fares.

Look after yourself and you know we are here to help if required.

I rather miss FannyCornforth , though I believe she decided to leave.

That was of course to ferry23

So glad you are feeling better both physically and with regard to your spirits, I remember how bad you felt in your last post about your leg.
Wishing you - and your leg.
All the best ❤️🌹

Pleased to hear you’re on the mend now, but what a year for you!

Lovely to hear your update ferry23 and I'm glad you've made such good progress.
I hope your GP surgery has apologised and learnt a lesson from your case and realised that you have a Wound Clinic in your area. Something for us all to know about should the need arise.

As for that nurse - well, there always seems to be one, doesn't there! It makes you wonder why someone would choose nursing as a profession.

So glad you’re doing so much better Ferry keep it up x

No Babs no one ever found out about BigLouis I saw her name come up in a thread the other week and got all excited but it was an old thread, I wish we knew
Is Petra still posting? is anyone in touch with her I d really like to know how MissA is ?

I was absent for some time from March until summer so the last I heard about MissAdventure was that she had been very poorly, so didn’t dare ask when I came back on the site. Am hoping she is still recovering.
Did anyone ever find out about BigLouis?

Yes, it’s petra posting updates on Miss A, but the last one I can find was in June.

Sarnia the lady with the awful leg problems is having a rest. If you scroll through the post which of course Birdbrain has forgotten, is it hips and knees? You will find she is on the way to recovery but considering suing when it is finished.

Thank you for that. I couldn't find it. I'm pleased she is on the mend.

I found the thread and posted her update above at Tue 09-Sept-25 11:50:12, Sarnia.
Nothing more since, as far as I know.

Was it petrie who was giving us updates on MissA I ve asked on a few threads but no ones come back with any update I d love to know if she’s ok ?

Curlywhirly

I think Callistemon was barred, can't think why as she wasn't controversial or goady.

No she wasn't.
She just had a name change.

I'd like to know how MissAdventure is now, hope she's reading this

I think Callistemon is back among us under an assumed name!
