Most important thing pre op is building up the muscles in the affected leg it helps a lot with recovery as it will help stabilize the joint post op

She is having it done Monday week .Waiting 6 years so going to pay up front and claim it back .Minister for health brought in a new scheme and put a few million into it if your waiting more than two years you can go on the Purchase treatment scheme .Pay by credit card claim it back it will only cost you a few ton in interest beats hobbling around in pain .Great country for medical attention if you have the bronze .

I was talking to the Rodent last week  about the Electric car offer .You need to pay up front and after you get it passed out as a taxi you claim the 7k back .Lad in the Car Shop says to me .If your interested Put down a 7k deposit use your Credit Card and finance the balance .Then when you get the check for the grant pay back your credit card it will only cost you a few quid .If you have a months free credit on your card it might cost you nothing .So  the deposit you were putting down on the car was repaid to you .Nice I thought then thought would that work if you qualified for the Treatment Purchase Scheme .The Doc wants his Bronze up front the Scheme needs a reciept .The Docs Secretary looks after all the paperwork.
