Booked My Pre-Surgery Screening Appointment
[ Friday November 8th 2024 at 2:04 pm ]

I have now booked my pre-surgery screening series of appointments. When a patient is undergoing hip surgery for the first time there is an entire program that helps prepare a person for undergoing the surgery. It helps address logistical questions, sets expectations and is heavily focused on patient education. On the basis that this is yet another hip surgery I will be having they are fast tracking me. There is no need to subject me to this same education again. The expectation is that I will come prepared to raise any specific concerns that stray outside of normal. I have several concerns for this next surgery. I have no problem advocating for myself. I don't find this difficult. A week ago I popped my right knee. There is no way I will be able to complete a normal course of physiotherapy on account of this. I need to have a frank discussion about what is needed for my recovery.
