My Mom needs to have a second hip replacement done. While waiting for the first one for over two years the strain on the other one was enough to cause her last good one to go. So they knew she needed both done before they could do the first one. She finally had one done last year and it all went well, she says thats the one part of her that feels really good.

So she gets a pile of tests done and this clinic says things look good and she was given a date to get the other one done. But it will be at the private ASG clinic. 1 week before this date they call and say it's too risky due to her age has to be in a hospital and another 40 weeks now....

It's annoying that they get her hopes up only to back out like this at the last minute. It's like they try to intentionally kill these older patients by playing mind games with them. Even last year they gave her a date...than a week before they call on a Monday and say you better come in tomorrow or you'll lose your date. Horrible way to treat people.
