Total Knee Replacement: NOW I Think of Having It Done In a Hotspot
When I planned on having my Total Knee Replacement (ta-da-dummmmm) I planned it for this time of year. Normally October in Kentucky is about 70 degrees, low humidity and nice breezes. Great weather to sit outside and ponder the benefits of a Total Knee Replacement.
The weather now is 15 degrees below normal, cloudy, rainy and windy. Next week when I am in the hospital, it will be 70, etc. etc. and then back to 15 degrees below normal, cloudy, etc. etc.
But I totally forgot about the option of going to a hotspot for my Total Knee Replacement. One of those medical tourism deals, until an ad showed up here ——>
Look at all these options!

I’ve always wanted to go to Guadalajara. And the Costa Rica hospital looks pretty nice too…and the Mazatlan one too… Of course, my recuperation period for my Total Knee Replacement (ta-da-dummmmm) would probably be extended a few weeks longer. But sacrifices should be made when considering one’s health.
Mexico! Costa Rica!
Rats. I’ve seen Sicko.
I knew it would be cheaper. I’ve heard of medical tourism. Yes, I am kicking myself (with my good leg!)
I’d vote for Costa Rica. Just remember don’t piss off the nurses wherever you go. They’re the ones who will bring you that sweet sweet pain medication.

@Elaine: Yes, we have tons of experience with nurses due to daughter’s extended ICU stay. We know who does the real healing.
What about New Zealand????
Our summer is your winter!

@Ainsley: I can’t find NZ on a map, but I hear it’s quite a place. I think I would rather come when I am healthy. 🙂

Wow! I think I’ll start planning now for that exotic knee replacement vacation.

@CatLadyLarew: actually, you should go before you need the surgery just to check ’em out.
medical tourism becomes in demand this days, many people looking for affordable medical assistance they can have at very reasonable price.
