I have just come back from seeing the Job Capacity Assessor at CRS. An hour and a half gone and I am not sure that I am really any further down the track, except that things are at last starting to move in my favour a little bit.
The GP's office just called - have to go see the Doc to get a referral to have some more medical imaging done. Had an MRI back in November, but it seems the Surgeon's office have been onto them this morning wanting me to have more. So on Wednesday I have an appointment with the GP to get that referral, and he can fill in the forms the JCA gave me for him while he's at it. I also have to get an appointment with the pain specialist and have him fill in the same sort of form. When I have both forms completed, I have to go back to see the JCA again and they will make a decision on what they are going to do with me - give me a 12 month medical exemption or put me on a DSP until I get the surgery done.
Why is it so damned hard to get anything done? See this one for this, and that one for that, and some other person for the next step. By the time I'm finished I will probably have walked the same distance as it is from Adelaide to Brisbane in the corridors of Flinders, the GP's office, the Neurologist's office and the Pain bloke's office - not to mention the surgeon if I ever get to see him of course.
