I wasn't contacted at all in my first 12 weeks following op. I was back at work when I was contacted, when before I had all the time in the world to do rehab. I would have liked to have done more rehab earlier. Also the program was aimed at a very slow recovery an dnot tailored to me. I am 41, fit and healthy. I needed to be given a more intensive program in my opinion.
I have only had 2 or 3 phonecalls in the 6 months after my op. I haven't been seen or assessed by anyone in person. Luckily I'm self sufficient but I would be very concerned for elderly people who live alone and people who do not have my level of 'get up and go' attitude.
I feel like I've basically rehabilitated myself in all honesty.
No doubt Covid will be blamed!
Suggested improvements
Make contact much earlier. 6 weeks after op.
Tailor care better against age, fitness and attitude.
See people in person and do proper physical assessments.
