“Portia was my Postop nurse following a total hip replacement in December 2022.
Portia was in contact with me straight after the operation, checking in on how I was feeling, how the operation went.
Once I’d been discharged, Portia visited me at home and we talked through my post up plan, the physio requirements, and she also checked my blood pressure, vital signs, and general mobility.
I was fairly anxious, having recently been diagnosed with a minor heart issue, and I have to say that Portia not only provided high quality nursing care but also reassurance and kindness, which contributed to a much quicker recovery.
Recovering after any operation isn’t just physical but it’s also mental and having someone so knowledgeable and available to speak to and visit me was the thing that made all the difference in improving the speed of my recovery. I had my first hip replaced three years ago and can honestly say that Portia’s input for this second hip greatly helped. So, thank you so much, Portia!
I would recommend Portia to anyone due to have surgery not only to receive care and guidance post-op but also on getting tips on being in the best shape for the surgery.
I am relatively young to have hip replacement surgery (early 50s!) so getting care that enhances recovery is worth every penny.”
