Awful Kendal.
When I broke my shoulder I had to spend more than 5 weeks on the sofa. So much pain that I was unable to lie flat, could not even do to bed. Was reduced, after the first few weeks totally laid up, to just walking round the block, just a couple of hundred yards at most.
Being laid up for 12 months is beyond comprehension, you have to get things moving. As I suggested elsewhere, try contacting a private consultant, one who works in the NHS. Sometimes such people are able to move things along as they have 'influence'.
Should cost a few hundred quid, might be worth it
