So grateful they managed to get me in at such short notice. Only 7 people per day as a face to face so I’m extremely lucky for sure.
Had a good time set in the afternoon, so we could set off at leisure.
Upon arriving I had to remove my own mask, and put on a medical one, hand sanitise and walk up to the department I needed.
Most seats have been removed, only around 8 seats available in waiting room for x-ray.
In preparation of an x-ray I wore leggings so I don’t have to strip off, making sure I have no metal anywhere where they are xraying, that way I’m loads faster for them. Literally a min or two.
This time they used a metal ball between my legs, not sure why. Maybe it’s something to do with hip calibration?
This helps explain it Here
Fast as anything x-ray was done, and I just needed to speak to the consultant.
Down at this waiting room, there’s around 20 seats but only around 6 patients, and plenty of space between seats.
Sadly not my surgeon, but someone I felt comfortable we, we assessed the ROM range of movement (lack of it) Hip really painful at this point.
Xray showed some narrowing or the joint space, clearly indicating arthritis, but an MRI is needed to confirm, along with CT Scan. Then I can confirm and go on the waiting list.
Feeling very relieved and immensely grateful the ball is rolling, and I’ve had a head start too.
