Monica and I had a chance to talk to the Doctor Marya in India today for the second time this week. On Wednesday he asked that I have a new set of X-Rays taken because the first set I sent were not clear enough.
Boy, did that have me scurrying around the rest of Wednesday. Because of my girlish figure, not all X-Ray companies will do them for someone over 300 pounds. Then I found out that many of those that do, they only do film and not a CD which is what I needed to send to India. By the end of the day I was able to mail them out over-night with 5 minutes to spare.
Doctor Marya told us I was a candidate for replacement on both my hips. I found that word "candidate" was funny since we are in this national election for president season. I never thought I was a candidate for anything but I guess I am. Maybe I should run for president! ;-)
He told us that he my or may not do both hips at the same time depending on my physical condition and what they find when they do my really bad hip. I may have to wait 3-5 days for the second one. I hope not! I want to get this done fast so I can come home sooner but he really sounds like he knows what he is talking about so I will trust his judgement.
Doctor Marya is Director, Orthopaedics & Institute of Joint Replacement Surgery at Max Hospital in New Delhi, India where he will perform my surgery. To get more info on Doctor Marya and his web site, go here: Doctor Marya's Web Site
Jeff and Tim at Med Journey's have been very helpful in planning everything. I will do a post on them soon.
