Guest Wombae, I hope your follow up went well.                      I had my appointment with my consultant yesturday & visited my GP. today as both my husband & I were very disappointed with the meeting.
He told me nothing until pushed,had lost my x-rays & finally said if I wished to have the op. he would do it, no mention of physio or anything else until pushed too, then all he said was I would get all my information at assesment in 3-4 months time. I mentioned I am allergic to nickle, he just laught said well it won't be gold or silver, probably be titanium & he has never had anyone have any problems.
The GP. was not amused & has altered my meds to try & give me some relief so that I can try & excerise to keep my weight down but said changing consultant or hospital was not really practible as I would be back to the bottom of the queue & at least I know it is going to be done. She then handed a complants form to my husband & said fill it in, not that it will do a lot of good as others have tried & he is still at the hospital.
So now it is a question of waiting...

Thank you all for listening, Cathy
