My new hip is wonderful, being pain free after many years is exceptional. My treatment at Ashford Hospital was first class and I was kept informed about what was happening and what to expect continuously. Being woken through the night to have my blood presssure taken was a bit of a nuisance but a necessary evil I suppose. The stockings were a nightmare and once home it was difficult changing them and wearing them 24/7 proved painful especially at night when it seemed they were cutting off circulation to my toes - I must admit I didn't keep using them as long as advised because it was all together too difficult. I was told by many to ensure I did my exercises and I did - I can't stress enough how important it is to do the exercises to ensure a full and reasonably speedy recovery. The only other thing I would mention is that I was advised how to sleep on my side or back but nobody considered advice on sleeping on my front - which is what I do - so I managed on my own making sure to lie flat with no pillows - it worked.
