An Alexandria pensioner has said she fears dying before having the life changing operation she has waited two years for.
Mary Travis, 69, from Beechwood opened up to the Lennox about her wait for surgery to correct her twisted spine, as new figures reveal that one in eight people in Scotland are now on NHS waiting lists.
Mary’s spine is now so severely twisted that she can only leave bed for a few hours each day, whilst a cocktail of morphine and high strength painkillers leave her drowsy and struggling to concentrate.
