Making a massive difference

"Making a massive difference"

About: Community Services / Community Rehabilitation

(as the patient),

I'm awaiting a hip operation, initially a realistic wait of 6 months but sadly due to circumstances I've been told it's likely to be another 9 months, I've been on the sick since March from my job as a Support worker with adults suffering with mental health. I cannot thank the OT (Lydia) and the physio (Louise from the Bideford Health and Social Care Team) enough for their superb support during this extremely difficult and painful time, they have given me hope, encouragement and tools to enable me not to give up. Massive thank you to you both.

Dear Molly65,

Many thanks for your feedback.

I am sorry to hear there is a further delay to receiving your hip replacement. However, I'm glad to hear that our support is helping you through this extremely difficult time for you.

Please let the Community Health and Social Care team know if we can offer any other support.

The team is very grateful for this feedback and appreciate your time responding. I hope the tools that you were provided with continue to help you while you wait for surgery.

Kind Regards,

Susan
