Hi chasswen,
You can always come to the UK and Mr Lam (We call our top Surgeons Mr - -you keep the Dr thing) who is a wizard with Prodisc. I have lost count of the number he has done- - - - we eat proper food here and speak your language -- -well almost -- - lol
Who ever accompanies you could go sight seeing in London whilst you recover for a few days.
Country Cousins you are always welcome here
Best
Alastair
