Title: Resurfacing no. 2
Post by: Daytona Dave on September 19, 2014, 09:34:24 AM
Hi all,

Just to let you  know I came home yesterday from having had my left HR done on Monday. Had my right done 5 yrs ago now and its been brilliant. So I am now part of the bi-lateral club!  ;D

I went to the Royal Orthopaedic in Birmingham and had a very good experience, having had an Adept RS under Mr Pearson.
What has struck me this time around is the restrictions he has imposed in this first 6 weeks. For example the high seats, additional toilet seat, injections for the blood clots, not bending beyond 90* at the hip etc. etc.
Last time I had my RS in Harrogate and was  not given any constraints except be sensible and make sure I where the stockings.
Don't get me wrong I will follow the advise to the letter. I am guessing he is just extremely cautious which has to be a good thing.
The recovery is going well and I went for a small walk up the lane today....fantastic  :)
