Yes, I go back into surgery on friday to have the plates removed from my ankle. It will be an overnighter and I will then be plastered up for a few weeks before the dreaded boot and even more dreaded physio starts.
My original operation was in November and I have been back and too for check ups in the interim.
I have just had the third dose of physio on my dislocated finger and I am also due to go back in 3 weeks to check progress on that.
It got me wondering what it would cost me in the US ?
We pay for our healthcare through our taxes and I have not been asked for a penny extra for all of this. Drugs, accommodation and so on is all included. I believe they will even send an ambulance round for you if you cant get to the hospital. I am a firm supporter of the NHS which has done so much to improve our lives.
I know that you have insurance for healthcare. Does this cover accidental damage as well ?
Would I be anxious rather than bored ?
