Derek’s Rapid Recovery Bilateral Hip Replacement Experience
(0:00) I’ve had two new hips. (0:02) So both hips done yesterday, how do you feel? (0:05) Fantastic. (0:06) alternatingly lifted the feet.
(0:08) So can you do that? (0:09) Yeah. (0:10) Can you find balance on each foot? (0:12) Yeah. (0:13) That’s nice.
(0:14) Have a candle there if you walk. (0:16) Have we met your expectations? (0:17) Absolutely smashed my expectations. (0:20) Perfect.
(0:20) That’s what I was expecting. (0:21) Sounds great. (0:22) It is.
(0:23) You look for other alternatives. (0:27) As I mentioned, I did look at possibly going abroad. (0:30) And getting it done bilaterally here, (0:33) I think it’s £1,000 more than it would have cost if I had gone to Lithuania.
(0:37) Just £1,000. (0:38) And I’m at home. (0:40) If you get travel and expenses in Lithuania, (0:43) probably you would be coming to a higher price tag.
(0:46) That’s right. (0:47) That’s just the basic… (0:50) People, because they cannot travel afterwards, (0:52) people go to rehab centres there. (0:54) So they spend the same amount of money that they spend for the surgery.
(0:58) I think we are not too expensive. (1:01) We are really not. (1:01) We try to be cheap.
(1:03) You literally… (1:06) Certainly no more expensive than any others in the UK that I’ve looked at. (1:09) Yeah. (1:11) Which… (1:11) For what you’re receiving.
(1:13) For what you’re receiving. (1:14) Instead of just one at a time and three times as long. (1:18) You get an Aston Martin for the price of a Vauxhall.
(1:21) That’s the one. (1:23) Any pain? (1:26) It’s… (1:26) I would say it’s not pain. (1:28) I can feel my hips.
(1:30) I can feel the padding on, the swelling. (1:33) It’s not sore. (1:35) Fantastic.
(1:35) Last night was the first night in years where I didn’t have any hip pain. (1:43) Worth every penny. (1:44) Thank you so much.
(1:46) That was a good last statement.
