    why does it happen ..... daughter been on waiting list for cataract op since Feb 2019 - in desperation I decided to go private (she is  now nearly blind in one eye) 
    Paid the £3000 cost today - literally five mins later a call from NHS to say she can have the op early June.  Two weeks later.

    Still carrying on with the private one - too late to change anyway - I'll be glad when this nightmare is over.

    How lovely to have a moan to someone -- thank you very much.

    Aged 84 and feeling it.


    thank you for my welcome - molly

    @MOLLYW

    I am in exactly the same situation blind in one eye and cataract in other just getting worse but as it routine surgery they haven't been doing it on NHS 

    I can't afford to go private so just have to wait 

    How can it be routine when it totally affects your quality of life I ask

    @MOLLYW Hello and a warm welcome from me!  How are you this sunny Thursday morning?

    Oooft, what are the chances of you hearing from the NHS so soon after booking that private appointment?!  Typical, eh.  I hope your daughter gets on okay and yes feel free to moan to us whenever you like :)  

    Please let me know if you ever have any questions about using the online community and in the meantime, take care and speak soon.
