about 5-6.. im the only one who has surgery this year so far.. he said there is 2 coming at the end of this month and 3 others havent got back to him.. you can normally tell him when you want to have it.. its normally up to you. pay by card or cash

okay so i pay for the operation by a standard UK card?

as far as cash in hand is concerned, you said you had euros, does that mean you got our money converet into euros before you left UK/US, and then with those euros you can exchange them for dinars next to the hotel, if that is true how much euros in cash/hand should i have before leaving.

I had a word with my GP and hospital, they said they would only clean pin sites via a nurse in local doctors office, they wouldn't have to admit me into hospital for that, as far as x-rays go they would need a referal from a doctor to do the x-ray, and that would be private, they wont do an x-ray without a doctor referal, does all this sound okay.

yeah standard uk card is fine.. if i were you i would just get your money transferred to serbian dinars before getting on your flight to come here. id say if you had 40,000 dinars which is about 250 british pounds that would be enough to get you going for a while. your money goes along way here. for gettin money in the future, the owner of the hotel will go get money out from the atm whenever you need and bring you your money to your hotel room. hes very trustworthy and helpful. over here you dont need any referrals to get x rays.

okay i wil get some dinars ready, i take it you pay the hotel via card as well, and dinar cash is for mitkovic drivers at the airport, food for hotel and taxi.

maybe i may take out 80,000 just in case as i need to pay the drivers of course.

for x ray i meant when i go home for consolodation, at home the only way to get an x-ray is with referal.

also how hard wolud it be to clean my own pin sites and change bandages each week, my doctor told me I would be able to spot nifections myself very easily anyway, maybe i should only go to the doctor if I see an infection.

for the plugs does the hotel room have more than 2 sockets, just don't want to make sure I can have laptop permanently on while playing/charging 3DS and make sure the phone mitkovic gives me is charged enough in case of emergency, I know it's a small thing but i'd like to be sure and buy an extension if necessary beforehand in the UK.

also you have only briefly mentioned physio, can you give a more in depth explanation of what you do, how long for, what kind of stretching etc.

should I bring shaving cream and razor to shave my legs before surgery, or is that not necessary with this device?

Wow, good I remembered about the shaving cream.

good news i can clean the pin sites myself during consolodation, as long as i know what an infection looks like I guess at that point I will need to see the local doctor as soon as that happens?

you mentioned changing bandages, can you recommend what type of bandages I should get, it is so when I go home I have 5 months of weekly bandages ready for me.

what is the best pair of trousers to wear during consolodation, that may help in making sure I don't get an infection, you mentiond track pants once, maybe i should get it modded at the tailor so it has a side zip?
