Good to hear that it may not be non weight bearing, as I had that after my original infection, and it wasn't much fun (not that I'm expecting it to be fun!!). I'm actually more south London than Kent, and somebody recommended the surgeon, so fingers crossed. The original consultant I had, who told me to come straight back to him when I was ready for the replacement, has unfortunately gone totally private, and I don't have private insurance. Although I did ask the new consultant if I'd be better off rustling up the money to go private (he does both), and he said I'd be just as well sticking with the NHS. It would be Orpington hospital, which has a good reputation.
