Finally on my way

Postby RugbyDave » Sun Sep 23, 2012 12:28 pm

Hi

Following on from my previous posts and my decision to try for implant surgery.

Here in the UK funding for this type of procedure has to be approved. Well I have been APPROVED!!! and am now on the waiting list for implant surgery. I haven’t managed to find out how long the waiting list is yet but apparently my surgery has been classed as urgent.

Until then it’s Caverject and an ache for me – but not for much longer <grin>…

I can’t wait, will keep you posted on my progress.

Hi Dave
Congratulations with your first step. It took me a while too to accept the idea. Now just like you I am on the waiting list for the surgery. Under our public health care system in Canada the wait time in my region as about 2.5-3 years. Hopefully yours is going to be less than that.

Thanks for reminding how this president is heading us in your direction, in terms of healthcare. Glad I got this done before more liberal policies come to fruition. It took me about 3 weeks to get approved.
