Maureen Murphy – Mayo – Knee Replacement

'My GP was blown away by my recovery. I am out walking with my dogs again and doing aqua aerobics too. The healthcare abroad team is amazing'

So what’s it like AFTER surgery? Maureen Murphy travelled with Healthcare Abroad in April/May this year and had a knee replacement operation. “I had a great experience in Denia,” says Maureen from County Mayo. “My GP was delighted with my surgery and blown away by my recovery.

I was back doing activities fairly quickly after getting home. My physio was very impressed – getting so many physio sessions in Denia straight after surgery made the difference. “I’m in great form. I am still doing my aqua aerobics two or three times per week and I love my walks. It’s great to be out and about as I have 2 dogs Max and Molly. “They love exploring the woods and there’s plenty of places in Mayo. The tranquility is bliss.

“My knee is great, thanks to the wonderful team in Denia – from the time I landed there to our departure. I loved it there. Meeting other patients was great craic too. “I have been telling everyone I meet about Healthcare Abroad. I’ve gone from being stuck indoors and in pain to getting my life back again – even doing a charity walk for ChildLine. I’d say to anyone in pain – call Healthcare Abroad today and get fixed.”

    I called Chris at Healthcare Abroad and every single thing he told me on the call was 100 per cent and more. The service is exceptional. “All the drivers and carers and all the hospital staff were superb. The physio and aftercare was out of this world and I am hoping now to return to refereeing in the New Year. I’ll start with short-sided games and maybe progress to 11-a-side matches again. “I want to thank everyone at Healthcare Abroad.

    “I had the consultation the next day and a day later I was in surgery and had my knee replaced. What was really good about the experience was the rehab which followed, which is always nicer to do when the weather is so good. “Two weeks later I was able to walk in without crutches to see a physio back home in Clare for a check-up and she was amazed. I was able to walk unaided, and just as importantly the excruciating pain had gone.”
