If that's all you have you're doing good IMO but everything's relative. I'm hoping to get a bicep reattachment right now but you probably know how much the system here can suck 
well I got some other issues also disc herniation in back and neck and also torn patellar tendon last year but that has healed well now actually, suprisingly well healed from that. Pretty worn out cartilage in my right knee aswell the surgeon told me when they opened op my knee to stitch together my patellar tendon

Yes if you want to get it done in reasonable time you need private insurance. We are heading to the same healthcare system as US unfortunately
