You may have gathered from previous posts that I am something of a gadget freak. I like technology. I appreciate how sometimes man invents a new technology just because he can and then sets about finding a way to use it in practical everyday ways. I like the way he keeps trying and trying until the world finally gets it. And I particularly like the way he solves problems using innovative technology.
Imagine then how my gadget loving brain was going to solve one of my real worries over this operation. I'm having a hip replacement. My right hip to be precise. Not my left hip. That was my concern.
What happens if they do the wrong one? How can I be sure that they'll do the right one - I mean the correct one?
I decided first off that I could encase my good leg in a metal jacket locked with a combination that only I know... Hmmm... probably a bit over ambitious for a man with my DIY track record. How about an alarm system wired to my good leg... Mmmmm me and electricity? I think I'll pass on that one too! No I need something simple... something foolproof... something that even the consultant couldn't miss...
Well... It is the NHS you know...
