The surgery itself has been a complete success thanks to the surgeon!
I then got taken along to ward 10a in The Queen Elizabeth, Glasgow and it was a horrific experience! I still feel traumatised 6 months later!
The staff were dismissive/non caring, I was pretty much left to cope on my own in a room after a hip replacement! I'm in my 60s with arthritis and needed some help with the loo/sitting up/washing but no-one even came near! When I asked for help I was told no, that I had to try harder!
I had my left hip replaced at another hospital in 2021 and it was night & day regarding patients treatment! Hopefully it was a terrible couple of off days for the ward, because I would hate others to be experiencing this treatment.
