Default If this turns into a Rant about our government, just take it down!

I've held off writing as long as I can. Dont fly after surgery!! In the old days people arriving at Heathrow would walk about 50 yards and drop dead from a stroke. (Deep occult thromboembolism), so don't you fly, lets ee if we can find a way to have the surgery here at home.
Make an appointment with your surgeon that did your other knee;

Can you go NOW for the operation, if yes get on his list. The list doesn't work like you may think, people ahead of you, say no when offered a day, the die, they get sick with somethingelse. etc. If you can go anytime and are a good candidate this may work for you.

Plan B; ask if he/she has a colleague in another province who he can refer you to. If yes this may work for you.

Don't risk a disaster for elective surgery. Let us know how this works out.

Default Knee replacement

I just found out that Acumen do knee replacements right here in Calgary---this includes Calgarians and Albertans.
No need to go out of province, or out of country---what good fortune for me. Of course, this is a private user pay clinic.
Backlog is 10-12 weeks which is far better than AHS's year or more.
Thanks to all, especially Mr K, for your suggestions and assistance.
Bill
