After putting it off for over two years due to franky being scared stiff
I had my hip replaced at ROH. I need not have worried as it all went
well and thanks to the surgeon I have a state of the art
replacement giving a good range of movement. They even gave me the go
ahead to tie shoe laces after 6 weeks! I hope to be fully recovered in a few months but already the hip feels that it is part of me and there is
no feeling of having something mechanical inside me. There was no
unexpected pain after a few weeks so I only have some post-op stiffness
to deal with through the excercise program. The staff were all kind,
helpful and in some cases entertaining and although I am fussy about what I will eat the food was excellent. I had been worried about using stairs at home but with guidance from the physios that proved to be no problem. I dont believe that I could have been treated any better!
"Excellent experience"
