Thank you for my knee replacement

"Thank you for my knee replacement"

About: Rotherham Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

(as the patient),

I was admitted to Rotherham District Hospital last month for a full knee replacement.

My surgeon was Mr Rocha. I had my op at 2pm that day, with a spinal anasthetic. What was brilliant was I had no sickness, could have a drink straight away. Allowed home thursday dinnertime, walking fine, didn't need both crutches after only a week, no pain.

Staff on ward B2 and the physios were absolutely fantastic and not to forget the main person, Mr Rocha and team, for doing such a great job thank you all very much.

I support the organisation in making sure that the voice of patients and the public is heard and used in planning services. This involves running events, managing surveys, and building networks with the local community.

Thanks for telling us about such a positive treatment; I'll pass your comments on to the staff concerned.

All the best for your continued recovery!
