Hi miscverb... have been told by my dentist, hygienist & consultant - that the fastest & most likely route (root ??? hahaha!) is via dental problems; more bacteria than anywhere else in the body reside in the mouth & well-cared for teeth & especially gums (ie: that do not bleed when brushed) is...- Muffikins

Oh God thankyou Elaine - esp for the hugs; yes I think & feel just like you did - esp re the infection bit. And have no idea how I will manage once home & alone with a sick cat who won't eat. He's 'crashing' again today & cannot get him to eat. I know the signs now & so have put him on...- Muffikins

comfy shoes
Hmmm... just as I thought then Apricot; clearly I'll have to go down the non-matching shoes route then !! hahaha ! Just like others on here, I go barefoot at home at this time of year, so it's just the time in hospital that I'll look odd (well, more odd than usual, that is !) Has the swelling...- Muffikins

comfy shoes
I have been told to wear larger than my usual size flat slip-on shoes with a back; luckily I have a pair of too big shoes that I don't like & I forgot to return. Aparently the operated-on leg & foot swell. The only thing I see wrong with this idea, is that surely the good foot won't swell &...- Muffikins

Thank you Jaycey - have got my head round the financial committment now, so have stopped umming & ahing about this aspect. I'm a huge fan of the NHS & in particular the Royal Surrey County Hospital (as you will have read), but could not have coped if I had gone down this route & booked the...- Muffikins

And my first date was to be the 26th July, but I then panicked when I realised I'd only 3 weeks to do everything in, so moved it to 2/8. How funny - we could have got the nurses to wheel us to that little space in between the hospitals !!! I'm paying for mine out of my retirement savings; I...- Muffikins

A question for the ladies!
Are you going in to The Royal Surrey ?? If so they will look after you & give you good care. I have had loads of ops & proceedures there over the years. I love this hospital. And you can take your devices with you. And you'll get a very attractive gown to wear on the day & until you're...- Muffikins

Referral time from GP UK
Hi Jacey...OK - so now I'm SERIOUSLY worried re the surgeon with whom I have booked; Mr Guy Paremain. I paid to see him privately at the Nuffield for speed of appointment & becasue he also works next door at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, wher I am a patient for a huge number of other...- Muffikins

Oh yes - forgot to say - I'm really worried about infection; am already paranoid about bacteria, as in a previous very distant 'life', I used to sell bactericides to hospitals & the like. So am off to the dentist this afternoon to make sure he x-rays everything & confirms no bacteria in sight...- Muffikins
