To summarise the total trip: my husband came with me (you need someone really) and we had to fly out on Sunday, hence Ryanair from
Stanstead (yuk), which was much as you'd expect, arived at Brno and were met by David, the clinic driver. We saw a lot of him, for all
the driving around for the pre-op tests (very through, for 2 days), and then post op to be taken back to the clinic for physio. He was
absolutely great throughout. The hospital is beside the Luzanky Park, which is a nice bonus. After the 2 days of pre-op tests the
operation was on Wednesday as scheduled, on the dot, and lasted 1 1/2 - 2 hours, followed by 24 hours in the post recovery ICU. The
nurses were fantastic, very thoughtful. I spent 8 days in the hospital , the food was good and very plentiful, and the room spacious
and comfortable. The nurses and the physios were all good, and a surgeon came to check up every day. The 'contact' for us was
Veronika, who popped in every day, and she was excellent: great fun and extremely helpful. I was up after 2 days, and followed the
usual programme of exercises and physio. After hospital we stayed locally for another 5 dyas, with physion twice a day, copllected and
returned by David. Final inspection and removal of stitches (actually staples - brilliant) was on the Tuesday 13 days after the op, and
we flew back to Bristol via Munich with BMI. All went well in terms of the flights and access at airports etc.. The hip has healed
well, very tidy and to me seems a small scar for what was done, and the pain didn't last much after 2 weeks. The hospital provided
painkillers and anti-coagulants for my return. The hospital were helpful in terms of getting the paperwork for the NHS reclaim, which
has been approved.
