Got the call today, I go in on monday for the op.
Though lots of people moan about the NHS I do think that it is one of the few things left that makes Britain great.
At the same time though there is no way you could expect for non emergencies to within a month see the consultant have a CT scan see the consultant get and have your operation. There is a lot to be said for going private if you can afford it or have it as a work perk.
Wish me luck
