"Hip HIP Hooray"

I have been home for just one week. From the first consultation to discharge I could not have been treated better.All staff whatever their position at the Hospital treated me with care and respect.Things were explained to me in detail which I appreciated .I had a hip replacement in the morning and in the afternoon I was well enough to gently walk around my room with encouragement.Staff kept a close eye on my progress which improved daily. Exercises are a key part of recovery and they too were explained and demonstrated.They take up some time of your day but are so worth doing, I look forward to my six week check when I am sure I will be walking unaided, already the limp has disappeared and I am pain free.I know I am one of the very lucky ones but you can't get any better than that.The Horder is an amazing place.
