Hip Replacement in Spain for Muriel
Muriel Shelley, from Bray is a woman who loves getting out and about: “I solve the world’s problems in my head when I’m out walking.” Unfortunately however, her hip pain robbed her of doing the things she loved. “People were stopping me on the street because they could see it on my face. I used to love Zumba and swimming, but I had to give them up. I’ve been in so much pain, even walking to a chair was a struggle. I couldn’t go out with friends, couldn’t keep up with my grandkids, and even had to spend my holiday in Lanzarote mostly in bed. I had no quality of life left.” “I was on the waiting list in Ireland for nine months. I was told I’d need to wait nine more months just for a pre-op. I got off the phone in tears. I was at my wit’s end.”
Finding a Solution
“I had seen ads for Healthcare Abroad on Facebook, and although I was sceptical, I was also desperate. From the moment I called, everyone at Healthcare Abroad was brilliant. They did everything they could to make the process easy.”
“The care I received was second to none. The hospital was state-of-the-art, and everyone was so supportive. It was like a big family. I met other patients, and we all understood each other’s pain. It helped, knowing we weren’t alone. The drivers, nurses, everyone made sure I had everything I needed. I can’t say enough about how kind they all were.”
Looking Forward
“I feel like I have my life back. Now I can get in and out of a car without struggling, and I can finally spend time with my grandkids. My whole life has changed. The pain used to be constant, like a nerve throbbing. Now, it’s gone, and I can finally be present again.”
“I’d recommend Healthcare Abroad to anyone. If I need anything else in the future, I’ll go back there in a heartbeat. It gave me my life back. It’s hard to explain how much pain takes over your life until it’s gone. It feels incredible to be free of it.”
