Well, the foot infection has come back. They aren’t even going to bother trying antibiotics and things this time since they never worked last time. I’ve been put forward for surgery straight away. I’m just waiting for them to get back to me with the date. I’m going to have to buy the post-surgical supplies all over again, waterproof shower boots, bandage packs, etc. The NHS doesn’t pay for those things and I can’t have the surgery without them. Due to my benefit appeal I can’t pay for these things myself.

The items are £37 a pack and I need two packs. I might also need to buy extra bandages later depending on how long recovery takes. If the surgical wounds get infected again I will have to buy more iodine liquid and patches. So it’s hard to say how much I need exactly but at least £74.

If I get my disability benefits reinstated, they are going to check my bank account. I’m not allowed to earn money, but I am allowed to receive gifts of money. If anyone is able to help with this, please write in the box that it’s a gift so I can prove this.
