Kudos to Pamela Jenkins for her letter to the editor. I share your ongoing pain.
Unless you are there no one can explain how debilitating and life changing knee or hip pain can be. I have been told I have to wait 22 months for a hip replacement I felt like someone had hit me with a 2×4. Now my right knee is compromised as well. From my understanding hip surgery takes about an hour.
We have this beautiful new tower added onto our hospital but no surgery time. How does that make any sense?
Take the gambling revenue out of the general pot and put it back into the health system Ms. Clark. Anyone my age needing hip or knee surgery has paid their dues to this province and the last years of our lives shouldn’t be filled with agony and being dependent on pain killers to make life worth living when there should be a remedy out there.
