Where are the NHS physio's?

Still bed ridden.

It is now one month, 31 days in fact, since I was discharged from hospital. During my almost 7 month stay as an inpatient first in Dorchester County Hospital for perhaps 5 months then  in Bridport Hospital, the amount of physiotherapy I have received has been almost non existent. Apart from a few minutes getting to the edge of the bed and standing, or struggling along the corridor on a Zimmer frame for a short "walk" occasionally, tasks I am now even not able to achieve, the actual physiotherapy treatment has been conspicuous by its absence.

Since returning home, the situation has not improved. In fact, during the last 31 days I have neither seen or even heard from the NHS in order to schedule some physiotherapy sessions here at home. It is almost as if the NHS has washed its hands of me and considers that their responsibility toward my rehabilitation will "sort itself out" over a period of time. I am now compelled to be lifted in and out of bed with an electric hoists and teams of carers 3 times per day.I have now taken matters into my own hands. Fortunately my wife Sandra, who amongst all the other tasks she has performed, has taken on the role of pushing me into a series of exercises for legs and upper body attempting to regain some of the strength lost over the months. In addition, I have also retained the services of a private Physiotherapist once a week to provide assistance in becoming more mobile. An expensive but necessary solution to the problem of no physiotherapists within the NHS.

I have no intention of remaining in bed for the rest of my life.
