Following my protracted wait due to the Covid virus, I was eventually admitted to the Derwent unit at the Royal Bournemouth for a total hip replacement in March 2021. Prior to my admission I was somewhat apprehensive, I should not have been as the care and attention I received from every single member of staff and from my consultant Mr Lawrence O'Hara, my Anaesthetist and all the theatre staff was absolutely without any concerns whatsoever, so much so that I could almost say it was a most enjoyable experience, especially as the crippling pain in my right hip has now gone and the wound healing is to be admired. I am now short listed for my very painful left hip replacement in June and I pray that my operation and recovery are as speedy and uneventful as I enjoyed in March following which; I am looking forwards to resuming a fairly normal and pain free future. I extend my deepest sympathies to all of you reading this; if you are suffering the pain I have endured for 2 years. I survived with God by my side and the commitment of all the medical staff at The Royal Bournemouth. So a huge helping of gratitude is extended to you all at RBCH. See you again soon.
