Hello again everyone who answered me.
The latest news is that I got a wheelchair from the Red Cross (very straightforward) , booked a wheelchair taxi ) to take my ancient aunt (92) to the surgery.(not quite as straightforward as the appointment co-incided with school coming out time and lots of the wheelchair taxis were booked up bringing wheelchair-bound kids home). She DIDN'T refuse to go on the day (nightmare scenario). The GP gave her a steroid injection into the joint of her knee and it has WORKED!
She is in a lot less pain and can get about a bit better.
Hurrahs all round !

that's good news and she might be a bit quicker to accept help next time as this has helped

[Mamyalynne]

A good outcome, thanks for the update too.

Update much appreciated.

[ladyalex]

Thanks all.

I do hope that she will be less reluctant to accept help in the future, but knowing her...
It IS a good outcome, so I will be thankful for that for the moment.
