Total Hip Replacement

Posted By Easy recovery

"Total Hip Replacement"

About: Royal Perth Hospital / Elective & Emergency Orthopaedic Surgery & Bone Tissue Bank

(as the patient),

I had a Total Hip Replacement and was very nervous about how I would recover and how long and painful it would be.  Everything has been amazingly easy with very little pain and mobility is improving much quicker than I imagined.

All the team was very skilled, helpful and gave me great confidence from beginning to end. They all had the same goal to make me better and keep me as comfortable as possible.  Any requests were met quickly.

I am looking forward to when I can have the 2nd hip done and am sure this will be easy too.  The Doctor promised I would be a new woman and I know this to be true.  I had forgotten what it was like to wake up without pain or even sleep for more than a couple of hours. Thank you all.
