I had hip replacement surgery with Mr James Lewis on 3rd Feb '21 and now, nearly three weeks later, I'm well on the road to recovery. I found it difficult to believe that a one night stay would be sufficient but in fact it worked out fine, I was ready to go home the next day and since then I've steadily got stronger and more mobile. I'm taking one or two short walks outside each day now and my new hip is working well. I think the combination of a spinal anaesthetic and careful pain relief has made a big difference as I wasn't left with any of the usual after effects of a general anaesthetic. I'd found after a previous op that morphine made me feel very unwell, but I explained this to Mr Lewis beforehand and I feel my concerns were listened to, and this has made a big difference to my recovery. The restrictions necessary in the Covid lockdown have limited my contact with Mr Lewis and Goring Hall but that has felt OK. I recommend Mr Lewis unreservedly to anyone needing a hip replacement.
