Dear Mr Apthorp and the surgical team at Spire Sussex Hospital,

For so many years I delayed having my hip replacement for fear of the unknown and anxiety of an assured and successful outcome. My fears and anxiety were completely unfounded. From our first meeting, you put me at ease as to how the procedure would be carried out explaining every step of the way in detail.

As you are aware I made the decision not to be sedated and highly commend you and your ream for carrying out the procedure with such skill and professionalism, it was over before I knew it.

Also thanks to your skill and method of surgery, which I understand is unique, I have had the benefit of a speedy recovery.

From our first consultation, my visits to Spire Sussex Hospital and my three day stay I would like to thank all the nursing staff, physiotherapists and catering staff for all their courtesy and help again contributing to my speedy recovery.

Also a special thank you to your administration staff for their help.

The only part I played in all of this was to religiously do my exercises post op.

M. Conway, Eastbourn
