Please could you convey my grateful thanks to absolutely everyone in the Orthopaedics Department. The Anaesthetist was right I didn’t feel a thing, the surgeon who carried out the procedure, brilliant. The physios, the nurses (day and night), ward attendants. I could not have received any better treatment ANYWHERE. I came out of the theatre sitting up with a big smile on my face, no pain or discomfort. The whole experience has made a massive change in my life, I am walking upright without the grimace of pain on my face. It is just a couple of weeks now and the healing is going well. I feel I have been given a new lease of life. Thank you all. (PS. Tell the lady who made me scrambled eggs and the young man who made me tea and toast, they tasted the best ever).
