My husband has just turned 80
Nearly a year ago , he had a fall and broke his left hip
He had surgery and it was repaired but at the last appointment in March of this year, the X-ray showed that it hadn’t healed completely yet
We are due another appointment next week with X-ray
The added complication is that , when he broke his left hip , he was on the list to have his right hip replaced In March 2020
That was cancelled the day before because of covid
He is struggling with mobility and we don’t know whether this is because the right hip needs doing or the left hip still needs healing or a combination of both
We don’t have private health insurance and the appointments at the nhs hospital are brief and don’t usually lead to anything
We don’t know what to do anymore as they say they won’t operate on the right hip until the left has healed fully
I am just wondering if anybody out there has had a similar experience as I would love to hear from you
Hoping someone can advise ...
