Nita Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 My partner and I slpit up about 2 months ago. I have struggled like I've never known before. I have to get to another city for my next scan for monitring another aneurysm I have. He used to take me. I haven't got a clue. What do I do? I know I cant drive there and I don't know how to get there otherwise. Any tips? Love Nita x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi Nita, I can well imagine that you've had a difficult time..... Have you got any family or friends that you could ask to take you or somebody that would accompany you? I must admit, that I know I would struggle if I didn't have Eric to take me. I think that our local GP surgery is able to assist with hospital patient transportation, mind you, I'm not too sure how far they would go in mileage terms, as I think that it's run by volunteers and I would imagine that you would have to meet certain criteria.....but,it might be worth asking the question at your own surgery. It might be worth having a look at the following website re: hospital travel schemes..... http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAnd ...

Guest pam Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi Nita Patient Transport, should be able to help, I have used it before. Your GP's surgery will be able to help you with this. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennissmithy Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi Nita, Yes must say I would be in the same situation if Simon couldn't chaffeur me for some reason. When I have been at QE in Birmingham, I have seen patient ambulances from Coventry so I would say that there is a transport service. If you ring the secretary at the hospital, they should be able to help. Good luck Laura xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
