Paying for hip replacement

Posted , 8 users are following.

Hi, Hippies, used this forum when I had my left hip done Jan 15 and found it invaluable!

I have just gone on NHS for right hip and been told 18 months plus . 

I don't know if I can go through that wait again so am considering having it done privately?

My concern is the after care . Who takes stitches out , check up ect ?

can anyone help?

    Dear Mary, 

    how awful ... unbelievable how health care or non-health-care is and not only in Wales ... 

    I am so sorry and I wish I have a solution for you ---

    maybe just get the ball rolling while looking for other places you can go to ?

    How are you doing otherwise?

    big warm hug
