Thanks Lynne, I just hope he is sensible enough to get some pain meds, its pretty bad so I am sure he will, he left some of his pain meds here silly boy., I honestly think , if he had taken the time to find out, he would have been eligible for some assistance, from the NHS, as he has the right of abode in England, which means he can live and work there indefinetly with no visas needed etc, because i am a British Citizen, however I donot think physiotherapy would be covered, and that is what he really needs.

He has a basic travel insurance plan for the trip home which covers him for the three days for travel and up to five days before he leaves, however they might consider it a pre-existing condition for which there is no cover, yes it is worrying to me, I hate the thought of the discomfort he will endure , and that something bad could happen, backs are strange things., he was ok when he left, but found the trip exhausting and uncomfortable, so its going to be a lot worse, at least he has about 6 hrs in LA, so he will get to walk around and he can always get some pain relief there too if need be.

Yes it has not been the greatest of summers for his First visit to England, but he is still keen to go back, I think its just the bowling action in cricket that upsets an old injury, I want him to have some x--rays done when he gets back, as they have never done that before.

Thanks for your concern, much appreciated.
