After having surgery at Grantham hospital, I returned seven weeks later for my follow up appointment to be told everything would be OK to be left as it was and my surgery would heal, When
I got home I decided to question what I had been told, after a few phone calls and a conversation in which an email was read out to me, I discovered that actually the surgery was unlikely to heal at all, I requested another follow up appointment, when I went to the appointment I saw another consultant who said I would have to undergo surgery again. I questioned why I had been told the opposite only four weeks prior, unfortunately there was no answer given, I couldn't get a rough time scale of how long I would be waiting for the surgery or how long recovery would be after. I also couldn't get the answers to my question, I was left feeling very much in the dark about how and why and recovery as a result I've moved on from this hospital to a different one, who have explained everything in very fine detail, all the pros and cons and the maybe's I now feel I completely understand the next surgery process, and am completely as ease with the whole process.
