My left hip replacement surgery and the team that looked after me was fantastic but the lack of follow-up has left me disillusioned.
I had one call from the hospital three days after my operation but apart from that nothing. I just have the app to go by which is impersonal and unhelpful.
I don't know who to ask about any questions or worries I have, I have not been given any follow-up appointments or given any explanation as to what happens next.
I was told I could ask questions on mycare but every time I ask a question on it it goes to the wrong department! If there are any issues with the app there is no contact to call to query it or fix it. I am having to cope post-op on my own now and feel very much alone and abandoned.
