Mr Lusty is simply the best. His expertise is second to none. I never dreamed that a total knee replacement could have been done with so little post op pain! The whole experience from initial consultation to discharge and physio has been wonderful. Mr Lusty gave me so much confidence to go ahead with the surgery. Simple explanations of the poor condition of both my knees and no nonsense straight talking about what to expect. Within 48hrs of the op I was walking with only 1 stick and after only 1 week I could walk with no sticks at all. I was very apprehensive about having a spinal block anaesthetic, but I was put at ease and helped to decided it was the best option. They were right. spinal block is so much better than a general anaesthetic. No sickness and I was drinking tea within an hour of surgery in the recovery bay. and eating a sandwich when back on the ward. I had to retire early from a very physical job because of the pain in both knees. I could not stand long enough to do my garden, cook, do housework or even walk in the park with my grandchildren . 6 weeks post op and I feel like iv'e got my life back. What a joy to be able to stand for more than 5 mins! Now I can't wait to have the other knee done and improve my mobility even more. I can't thank Mr Lusty enough for his incredible skill and his team for all their care. I feel very honoured and lucky to have received my treatment from this team. Geraldine Brown
