"Total Hip Replacemnet"

On the 13th.June 2016 I had my second hip replacement operation at Darent Valley Hospital, the first on July 2004. This time I had a spinal injection which was better than the General Anasthetic I had before.

I was fully aware on waking, and able to have coffee and toast soon after, such a treat, takes a short time for feeling to return to legs.

I was on Cherry Ward and the staff were wonderful.

I was in a room with a toilet, which was so convenient.

I made a rapid recovery and was home in two and a half days.

Two day less than 2004 !

I was twelve years older and I had wondered how I would cope.

I had nurses come to visit me at home, they too were wonderful, so helpful.

Am taking care, and in another six weeks will be more agile.

I am pleased at the speed of my recovery as now aged 78 years . Had my check up and discharged a few days ago.

Am so pleased with the outcome and want to thank all the people involved.
