Been waiting expecting to go have a new knee mid June. Heard nothing so rang them to be told pre op tests aren't completed apparently the aneasetic Doctor hasn't completed them.

I know I have worsening copd but was told most of these ops are done with epidural so ?.? . I had to ring to find out it wasn't been done till July now. After tears and feeling sorry for myself still no contact I wondered wether cancel it but decided no not cancelling got to be done I am the one in pain great diffulcty in walking so I am hanging in. 😭😭 😀😀
