I had my left hip replaced on October 10th at Spire Yale, Wrexham. The operation was performed by the wonderful Professor Malek and his fantastic team. I had been full of terror for a while before the operation , and Mr Malek has been amazing with me. Patient, kind, empathic, reassuring. He explained all the procedure and when the big day came, I was admitted into a lovely, clean and quiet room, where I was looked after by the lovely nurses until it was time for my op. Once in the theatre, I was looked after so well by all the surgical team and my operation was successful. Professor Malek is such a truly super skilled surgeon. I stayed in the hospital for a further 3 days and was cared for so well by all the staff, from the nurses to the delicious food delivered to me, to the kind physios and everyone else. Mr. Malek came to see me each day, and his lovely smile reassured me each time! I’m over 2 weeks post op now, and am managing to do all I’m supposed to do, and it’s great to feel no actual arthritic pain anymore, just some post operative pain, which is understandable. Today, I had the big wound dressing removed and it all looked good, clean, dry and healthy. 3 more days and I can remove the new dressing. I will see Professor Malek again in a few weeks time and will start physio in 2 weeks. So I’m moving forward with an optimism that I certainly haven’t had, for varying reasons, during this difficult year. I also want want to single out Professor Malek’s secretary, Anna Gizzi. This lovely lady has made all my process so much easier. Her communication with me, coupled with so much kindness and understanding, and also going the extra mile for me on one occasion, has made the whole process so so much nicer. In fact, Anna was able to visit me whilst I was in the hospital, as she was there that day, so we finally had the chance to meet. It was like meeting a wonderful friend! So, all in all, I am so happy with the procedure I had, and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better team to look after me. I feel so fortunate to have had the ‘A Team’. Thank you, all of you, from the bottom of my heart.
