Initial thanks to Elizabeth Gould, Annabel Harris & Tracey Daniels, for their support and encouragement through this most challenging time.
Home safely after 2 weeks and TLHR...
I wish to say a very special heart-felt thank you to the whole team Nordorthopaedics clinic in Kaunas.
So firstly to Ruta and others in the admin team, Ruta was my initial contact for surgery, for questions and requests. Their responsiveness and guidance gave me confidence in the whole process from day 1. Granted, it's not like booking a taxi and there are hoops to go through, but you helped me through to a brilliant result- thank you.
Secondly the anaesthetic team- both the epidural and the canula specialists who hit the spot first time and ensured I didn't feel a thing through the whole procedure. I didn't get their names as I was asleep.
Most special thanks go to the surgeon Sarunas (aka the engineer) who even though he's done thousands of these operations took the time to talk to me before and after surgery and was there as a constant contact if I needed him. And that handshake!!
The nursing team on the ward where I was supplied food and drinks as well as care and medication.
Finally the reason I am walking so soon is down to all of the above plus the vitally important physio team. From massage to my first steps to exercise and continued care for the next 3 months and more. Special mention to the chicken leg explanation of my surgery by Laimonas and the dedication and challenge of his team- I am eternally grateful for the start you've given me of my TLHR.
A final mention to Gerald and the other drivers who ferry people constantly between clinics, hotels and apartments. For their daily messages and logistical timings-amazing.
The other things that Nord do are all of the non-Nord advice. Eat well, protein and carbs. Get assistance at the airport. Years of brilliance at your fingertips.
I was a 62 year old with a problem I couldn't fix myself. I'd never had surgery, never stayed overnight in hospital as a patient, and never been to Lithuania. I'm so glad to say I made the right decision. Now to get rid of the bruising and get back to work.
Thank you all, especially you Elizabeth.
