Couldn't agree more. So glad you had the same experience I did.

Wow pauline,

Its great to hear you speak so highly of Mr.Treacy and his team and

also to hear how well you are doing.

It's really lovely to hear you had such a possitive outcome after so

much suffering, you've done really well getting through that

difficult time.

What's the tramadol turkey like? I'm dreading it. Did it take long.

I take between 6 and 12 a day. I don't take anti inflams like

celecoxib and diclofenac due too hearing they cause complications

for hip surgery.

Never mind I cant wait to see Mr. Treacy, My GP referred me recently

and I'm waiting to hear more. Thank-you ine.

love Zoe(still laughing about bungyjumping!!)

Oh ine,

How wonderful to have you back safe and well. Congratulations!! Little

pain and few meds---no wonder you have a positive outlook. Gosh-it

sounds like you might be one of those whose second hip experience is

very different from their first. We look forward to hearing your

progress over the next weeks/months---at whatever pace. You are an

inspiration to us.

Mr Treacy and his wonderful team

Hi everyone

My second resurfacing, 10 days ago, at the Birmingham Nuffield

Hospital was an amazing experience.

Some of you may recall that I became addicted to Tramadol/morphine

after my first resurfacing (different surgeon/hospital) eleven months

ago. I would not wish the subsequent withdrawal experience on

anyone...I thought I was going mad!!. So, I had a seriously

deteriorating hip (I was hardle able to walk with one crutch) and was

terrified about facing another operation and possible regression.

I felt that the only way for me was to go to one of the top surgeons

in the world, with a very short operation time (35-45 mins), and a

highly experienced support team (thousands of ops behind them...45

alone the week I was in). I was lucky that Mr Treacy is only two

hours drive away and was happy to take me on.

Mr Ronan Treacy, Dr Freeman (anaesthetist), Onions

(Mr Treacy's surgical assistant) and their nursing and administration

teams were incredible. They are a true team: very focussed, caring,

communicative, humourous and are perfectionists.

I have returned home feeling better than I have for over a year, with

little pain, few meds and a very positive outlook.

I feel that if you are lucky enough to be treated by Mr Treacy's team

you have nothing to fear.

It's now up to me to do my bit: rest, exercise and listening to the

body....for the coming months. Since I belong to the 'Turtles' it may

take a while but what a prize awaits me if I get it right!!

Thank you for the constant support I had from the surface hippies,

especially Edith, Peggarthy, , Des, Lucy, Pat and Lari.
