I fractured my humerus 3 weeks ago and after not being able to get a surgical appointment in my local hospital, I was sent to Furness General (90 minutes away). I was very nervous and experiencing incredible pain and discomfort. After speaking with the anaesthetist, Mr. G Talawadekar came over to introduce himself and explain what was going to happen with my surgery. He really put me at ease, he explained in great detail what would happen during my surgery and the aftercare. The surgery went very well and I returned home 24 hours later. This week I returned to Furness General to have my surgical staples removed. Mr. G Talawadekar entered the room and instantly lifted my spirits, he has a lovely warm, welcoming manner and his naturally friendly demeanour both relaxes you and lifts your spirits. My surgical scar is impressively neat and really shows how excellent he is at his job. He told me that my X-ray results are exactly what he’d been hoping to see and told me I am doing well with my healing (which is very reassuring to hear). He advised me of some exercises to carry out to help my recovery process and is sending me a follow up appointment for two months time. This was the most painful and terrifying experience of my life but I’m so glad I had Mr. Talawadekar guiding me through it, he’s worth the 90 minute drive!
