My partial knee replacement

Posted By Aylwin

"My partial knee replacement"

About: Nightingale Hospital Exeter / South West Ambulatory Orthopaedic Centre

(as the patient),

I entered Poppy Ward last Thursday morning and a most splendid day unfolded. I was greeted by everyone with smiles and kindness and absolute professionalism and I am beyond grateful.

I would especially like to mention Ruth and the team that worked with her in Poppy Ward, the sunny Physio Ladies, Mirka and everyone in Theatre and the lovely Nurse in Reception who was having surgery on Friday - I hope she is getting on better than well.

I am being a good girl (most unusual) and doing my exercises and again, a huge THANK YOU to Everyone.
