Understandably I was extremely anxious and nervous before the operation, but I was informed at every stage of what would happen and all staff were brilliant. As I had waited so long for this operation my main complaint was not only with the wait but lack of contact beforehand, I had to rely on my GP to request updates on when I would be admitted. Once admitted I was told my operation would take place at 10.30 but I didn’t actually go down to theatre until after 2.00 which meant several hours had passed since my last meal, I felt quite weak. I didn’t feel any pain during the operation, and all went well. I didn’t get much sleep after the operation as it was necessary to have a leg contraption for the circulation which was noisy, but I understand this was important. The instruction for getting back on my feet and using crutches for walking and stairs was very good. Follow up phone calls from the hospital were supportive and I would always recommend that patients use Shepton Mallet Hospital.
