Wow. Perhaps you could consider yourself somewhat fortunate-ish.
After waiting for 3 years, I think I may have my first op for hernias in March. (Botox?)
My main surgery after that is a 6 hour operation which will involve a huge open hole, and, of all things, a piece of pig to be sewn into me...
Thanks, this gives me a bit of hope. I have enormous hernias which need open surgery and a bit of pig grafted in. 6 hour op apparently, and 2 weeks in hospital.
Mind you, I've been waiting for this for 4 years now, and no sign of a date yet... :(
