I have recently had a total bilateral knee replacement operation at The Horder Centre, Crowborough and would like to take this opportunity to thank the surgeon and his staff for the care and attention, during the day and night, which they gave me before and after the operation.

Also, my grateful thanks go to the intermediate care service nurses at Queen's Park, Brighton, for their the follow-up services, dedicated care and understanding.

And a special thank you to physiotherapist Julie Hall whose encouragement gave me the confidence to begin walking again.
