Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / August 2007Left hand and right hand
When I got the letter confirming I was on the waiting list for a TKR they asked me to phone the hospital and tell them if there were any dates when I wasn't available. So I told them that I'm on holiday from Friday (24th) to 9th September, inclusive. Yesterday I received the summons to my pre-op check for (guess) Tuesday 28th August! So I phoned up and explained. The lass on the other end of the phone sighed and said "Sorry, they didn't pass that on". I wonder if I ought to mail them two copies in future, one labelled "Left hand" and one labelled "Right hand"! And, yes, they'll postpone my check until after I get home. I just hope they don't send me the appointment details while I'm away!

But Dave, they probably thought you wanted the surgery done during your vacation so you wouldn't lose any work time or play time or whatever. :-) On Tue, 21 Aug 2007 08:48:59 +0100, Dave <dave@DavidOSmith.co.uk> wrote: >When I got the letter confirming I was on the waiting list for a TKR >they asked me to phone the hospital and tell them if there were any [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >Yesterday I received the summons to my pre-op check for (guess) Tuesday >28th August!
