"He doesn't even know exactly what they did to him?"
Oh, yes he does know that. And he knows, he tells me now, that it was a small area. The rest of it is just because it's on his lower leg and and hard to mobilise outside bedrest
"is it anything like the horror of NHS waiting lists?"
Not really. Some procedures - orthoapedics are the worst - have a long list, but most of the time are pretty reasonable.
This surgeon has been looking after us since 2026, and this is the first either of us have been hospitalised for his treatment. We will have to investigate options. Insurance is a bad deal and I believe in the public system, so I want to know what they are.
