My Aunty Rose had very good help after her hip op, at home! Someone came to help her shower and all sorts!
Well in fairness I'm sure I would have been offered more help if I lived on my own, but because I have E we've just been left to get on with it. Even the District Nurse expressed surprise, especially when she saw how E struggles to move at times, as for bending bless him, he's often in agony. His arthritis is really bad, but because he has a long history of osteomyelitis (16 major ops as a child) the risks of operating are considered too high. The physio situation isn't excusable though and I'm pretty sure the ward manager will be raising that with those concerned.
