Guest guest Posted March 16, 2002 Report Share Posted March 16, 2002 Dr Treacy arrived in Bermuda on Tuesday evening and started off on Wednesday with four patients. I was second on the list. Did four more on Thursday (the last one being a bi-lateral) and then off to Golf before returning to the UK. In answer to your questions Yes he can perform a BHR in under an hour. In the UK in his own surroundings he can achieve a BHR in less than 40 minutes (procedure). In Bermuda it took closer to one hour to perform the procedure. I had my Left BHR and have not looked back since. 24 hours later I was using a walker, 48 hours on crutches and tomorrow I am being discharged from Hospital (Total stay 36 hours). Even though I felt much anxiety about the operation the post-op pain is nothing compared to what I have suffered with my hip pre-op. The worst is the wedge of sponge which now separates my legs at night. I refuse to tie it up. I have been told that for the rest on my life I may never cross my legs as this could " pop the hip " out of its socket. I guess a small price to pay considering the new lease on life I have been given. Other than suffering a little Anemia post-op everything is fine and I am looking forward to the physio and getting my sporting life back into shape. I would recommend a BHR, less invasive, quick recovery and if they ever have to go back there is so much more to work with. Good luck to anyone else venturing on this course. They have made a wise decision. - Bermuda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
