Mentally drained after seeing the GP we rushed to Carmarthen for our consultation with the private Orthopedic surgeon. When we finally got there the meeting went well. My fathers GP had recommended him and has sent all the relevant details. The GP understood my fathers position and was very empathic. He put us all at ease and barring the go ahead from the anesthetist he agreed to operate. He reiterated that my father would require several units of blood to raise his hemoglobin levels before the operation.
Hearing the good news my father was very happy and in good spirits. If he is going to live out his last days comfortably, pain free mobility is a god send.
The Orthopedic surgeon has given us a date of 29th September, two weeks from now.
It will cost us £10,000 pounds.
We decided that we would not go to the hospital for our afternoon appointment. After all, we already knew the PET Scan results and I had taken the liberty to make copies of the Fax and blood results.
