A disabled grandfather has been left waiting two years for an operation on a sore which has left him bed-bound for up to 18 hours a day. Danny Sullivan says he has no idea when he will finally be called for his long-awaited surgery.
The 75-year-old from Kings Heath in Birmingham says the sore has severely affected his quality of life and means he has to stay in bed for hours to ensure it doesn't get worse. Mr Sullivan is paralysed from the waist down after he was injured in a car crash and uses a wheelchair.
He says he feels like it is "a total waste of a life at the moment" and that a date for surgery would at least give him "something to cling on to". His operation was originally scheduled for April 2020 but had to be cancelled as frontline NHS staff battled surging Covid cases. But more than two years later he is still waiting.
