I had a total hip replacement on the fast track route. It was a daunting prospect to have an operation in a day. Prior to having the hip replacement I was in pain constantly with difficulty getting up from a sitting position and not sleeping.
On the day of the operation I arrived at 7:30 and I was back on the ward by 12 noon. I went for a short walk with crutches three days after operation and can now walk 2-3 miles unaided 9 weeks later.
Communication by Mr Jacobs. Orthopaedic Department and Pre-Op prior to operation was reassuring and informative.
