| Original uncertainty examples | The lack of knowing what would happen. I can only speak from experience and my gender but having an open fracture was very shocking and seeing what my flap looked like was hard to deal with. To maybe have someone to talk to and see what they looked like nearer the time would of helped me so much more. ~ Access support network, other patients, forum ~ Nearby support group would have been helpful. Not immediately but later on or for my family. ~ Self help groups for mental support, falls prevention strategies, mental support is vital for polytauma but single bone/ limb trauma should only be supported after mental health in general is provided. I don’t think we have enough specialists in the uk to offer more support. |
