Before I start, just for info, I do trust my OS's ability 100% but had a weird situation last week and any advice would be much appreciated.
I'm due to have lower advancement in about 4 weeks time, and had a "planning" consult meeting with my OS.
I was expecting to have new X-Rays done (the last ones were over 3 months ago) and then to sit down with him for half an hour at least, and go through exactly what my issues (medically speaking
![wink :wink:](./images/smilies/wink.gif)
Instead, I ended up simply getting impressions taken so that they can make the splint.. and all of 1 minute with the OS simply for him to say - got any questions... then feel free to call me on my mobile!
Does this sounds really weird to anyone?
What and how much information were you given as to what they're going to do? As far as I know, I need lower advancement.. but the other things that haven't been mentioned are things like the midline, will either side be rotated/raised or lowered etc?
I am going to schedule another appointment with him, because I won't go ahead with the surgery unless I know what i'm having done.
But any advice on how much information you had (and what type - Xrays/diagrams etc) and how involved you were with the planning of the surgery would be much appreciated.
I know I need more info, but am a bit confused as to how much you would normally expect to be told?
Any replies are much appreciated!!
Cheers
Dave
