I've been discharged from the pain clinic... because I was in too much pain to adapt to my planned route to the hospital not working.

the fuck? -headdesks repeatedly-

Second Did Not Attend, technically -- where the first one, I was also too ill, and did actually phone them up to cancel. But.

[worlds_of_smoke]

You'd think they'd be a bit more forgiving since, y'know, they work with people with chronic, unpredictable illnesses. -sigh-

[shehasathree]

Apparently it's the day for it. I think it comes of an inappropriately singular focus (i.e. on "pain" or a single body part or system) as if those could ever be usefully extricated from the rest of the person.

Bastards.

OH OH OH I am going to The Scene To Be Seen In on Friday and it is going to be proper amaze; I cannot even with how much I am looking forward to it. Maybe something you'd be interested in? CN is amazing, the Mechs are spacepunk, and the Indelicates are my favourites of all time. (Well. Close to.) (Also CN recently finished hosting a panel blog series on gender as non-binary which I found super interesting.)

[frith_in_thorns]

It will be the best!

[littlebutfierce]

Ahhh meant to reply to this earlier, sorry! I think it's a no -- that corner of Hackney seems ridiculous complicated to get to from me (I couldn't get Journey Planner to give me anything less than 2 buses & a tube journey) & yeahhhhh blahblahblah spoons etc. but ty so much for the poking! Please keep me in mind in the future in case I can make it another time. :D

[pretty_panther]

*blinks* what.

i can't wrap my head around how fucked up that is.

Well that's ridiculous.

[kaberett]

It makes sense from their point of view; I just find it bitterly amusing.

[liv]

Well that's supremely unhelpful! Do you have any reasonable alternative in London?

[karen2205]

Yeah, seconding this - a re-referral from London to a different pain clinic might be a sensible way to go.

*headdesk*

[redbird]

I wish that even surprised me.

*sympathy*

[alexseanchai]

wtf. hugs?

[beckyc]

I wish I were surprised! That sounds very frustrating.

[angelofthenorth]

What on earth...? That is screwed on so many levels.

[cadenzamuse]

I am not even a little bit surprised, but I am right pissed off for (with?) you.

[elisem]

Oh argh!

:offers solidarity:

[shanaqui]

Ugh. I know non-attendance fucks up clinics (seriously, the frustration in the clinic I volunteer at when people don't show up) but you have a pretty good reason and you'd think a pain clinic would be a bit more understanding of that...
