Attended Hospital to see specialist regards bone fragments in the knee. I was informed A clean out of my knee would be beneficial but due to having a stent in artery if I had the opp I would die so he could not do it. I explained moving around was very painful and to continue being mobile I needed the opporation. I was repeatedly told I would die due to anasthetic which would clog my stent and I would die. I Was told not to exercise and just sit and watch the TV. I think it was just a fob off. I am aware of the problem regards the anaesthetic but I would expect something differant to numb my knee to allow my knee to be rectified. I cannot believe thousands of people cannot have minor work done because they have a stent. I find this reason ridiculous. As I am my wife's carer it is making life difficult for both of us. I feel let down by the system sadly and do not believe nothing can be done.
