"total hip replacement"

About: Wansbeck Hospital

I had my hip replaced in January 2015. I am 70 yrs old. I was very anxious about several aspects of the procedure.In retrospect, I didn't need to worry.There was a supportive, professional atmosphere where I felt like a person ,not just a number. I was home after 2 and a half days and now,after 6 weeks, I feel I have got my life back..Make sure you do all the recommended exercises. If,like me, you have been putting it off, dont..it is a good procedure.

Dear Graham, It is so lovely to hear that you feel you have your life back 6 weeks after your hip replacement. It is also lovely to know that your care was personalised in the way we would always like it to be and that you were delighted with all aspects of the service. Thank you for your kind and reassuring advice offered to other patients - your recommendation of both the procedure and the hospital team mean a great deal. All the very best with your recovery and do please come back to us should you have any concerns at all. Annie
