Pamela’s Hip Replacement Journey
“I feel absolutely wonderful now. It’s made such a huge difference!”
(0:00) And obviously we’re five weeks out now, you walked in like… (0:03) Like a spring chicken.
(0:05) What was it like before the surgery, the pain? (0:07) Bloody awful, really painful. (0:10) Could hardly walk, say, three, four steps without being in agony, (0:15) and didn’t sleep at night. (0:16) It was just so painful, I couldn’t get comfortable at all.
(0:19) How do you feel it’s gone? (0:20) I feel absolutely wonderful now. (0:22) It’s made such a huge difference, (0:25) even just being able to go down to the shops and buy a bottle of milk or something.
(0:29) Couldn’t do that for a long, long while.
(0:31) It was nothing like before, so it was an instant improvement. (0:36) Every time I did something new, he said, (0:38) that’s incredible, you wouldn’t have been doing that if you’d had it done the other way.
(0:42) So, you know, he was saying each time I did something that was a bit unexpected, (0:49) because of the timeline, he was saying, I’m really glad we chose this one.
(0:54) Was it within the first week or two you were out and about doing stuff? (0:57) First four days. (0:58) First four days, yeah. (1:00) First four days, absolutely shocked. (1:03) Pleasantly surprised.
(1:05) So you feel you’ve had a rapid recovery? (1:07) Absolutely, I really do. (1:09) We’d recommend it to anybody. (1:10) Brilliant, thank you so much.
