Hi there lovely peeps,

.

It's been almost a year since I was originally scheduled to have my first (right-side) replaced and 2 failed pre-ops and coronavirus delay. I shall finally be having surgery on 11 November pending a negative coronavirus test. I am really frightened of the procedure and was hoping to get any views as to whether I should have a spinal injection or general anaesthetic. Please can you take just a minute to let me know which you might recommend or your experience?

.

Thank you for your time 😃
