Hi everyone I'm new to this group my disability is that I've been waiting for a hip replacement for 17 months now and its been cancelled 5 times since then for no reason each time it's so frustrating as have been in a wheel chair all this time. Can anyone help me I'm so depressed with all the let down and not be able to walk anymore thanks

    Hi @marias, and a warm welcome to the community!

    Oh no, so sorry to hear this. It must be really frustrating for you to have it cancelled that many times. For what it's worth, I hope you hear more positive news soon. Have you spoken to your GP about your concerns with the way things are at the moment?
