In home care from SCGH and RPH

"In home care from SCGH and RPH"

About: Royal Perth Hospital / Rehabilitation in the Home Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital / Allied Health

(as the patient),

I had a hip replacement after I had a bad fall onto concrete. I was lucky, it could have been worse. I got out of hospital and the phsyios came they were helpful and provided me with hope and they gave me some excercises that were helpful I think they were from Sir Charles Gairdner and Royal Perth Hospital. I didn’t need it very long. They were both positive and helpful. There was two of them and they were great, one of them, the guy, was James and the lady, her first name starts with a Ph. They soon assessed that I didn’t need anymore at home.

Now I go to outpatients and I’ll start my 12 week or however long recovery journey there. I just went and had a look at the wound and they’re happy with that side of it and soon I’ll be back for an x-ray.

I was really sorry to hear about your fall and the injury you sustained to your hip. Thank you for taking the time to share your story on Care Opinion about the great service provided to you by the physios who visited you at home.

I am so pleased to hear that you found them both to be positive and helpful and that they provided you with some exercises to help with your rehabilitation.
