Back at Square One?


So tomorrow I’m back seeing a different surgeon about my hips, I had this stage with the other surgeon back in May. I’ve been switched because the new surgeon apparently has a shorter waiting time but if I get bumped back to the bottom of his queue rather than the 8 months progress that I had made through with the other surgeon, it would be quite irritating and when I think about it it is making me angry.

At this stage though I’m still quite content, despite the legs getting noticeably worse day by day. When I HAVE to do something I’m able to, even though it does hurt and is a lot. The way I’m going though I’m not sure just how much longer that will be the case and in reality I could just twist awkwardly and that could be me crippled for a few days.

I’m hoping that despite seeing the new surgeon I won’t have to get another pre-assessment and he’ll see just how bad I am and things might finally progress. I’m still incredibly annoyed at the guy at the start of November saying about it being in 4 weeks, then getting a call to this surgeon at that stage, then delayed a week, then delayed another 7 weeks and then again another week to this appointment. I have little to no faith in anything they say and have never felt that way about the hospital before.

I’m not sure whether to say anything or not, I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot but I definitely want to make them aware. And vent

I guess I’ll find out tomorrow when I turn up and how I’m feeling and how I’ll react, I have had quite a short temper, but a controlled temper, so far. Hopefully it all goes well and some progress is made, I’m not expecting much though and it’ll feel like a waste of time and I really couldn’t be assed with it already.

Until the next time.
