Today we saw the orthopedic surgeon. He examined me, and told us the potential side effects etc with knee replacement surgery. He would only do one knee at a time, which was re-assuring. I decided to discuss it further with my family doctor at an appointment on Dec 17th. If I decide to go ahead, I need only call the orthopedic surgeon's office and ask to be paced on the waiting list--which is about 8 months long long. He advised that there may be surgeons with shorter lists, and if I advised the regional health authority that I would accept any surgeon, I might be able to get in sooner, but the surgery would have to be done at Concordia not Grace. This would not be our choice.
So-o-o The beat goes on!!
