Three months after returning home to UK Mr Gordon Teague wrote to the hospital

I am so glad I chose to place my full Knee operation in your hands.The ease of movement I have experienced since exceeds my highest expectations. I re-started my tennis playing a week before Christmas-roughly 6 weeks after the operation. I am walking well and can easily and comfortably run,(well, trot speed)and am gaining confidence on the courts but continue to avoid sudden turns.

I think my mind is too astonished to let me take advantage of what I feel sure I could do. I expect that I shall increase my interceptions using my legs as well as my long arms within a week or two. My physician Dr McCahy is delighted and tells me she has never before had a patient who has been able to return to playing tennis after a knee operation So far I have tested my walking up to 2 mile stints and found no discomfort, but I am not yet up to speed as the youngsters spurt past me.I like using my elliptical cross trainer on the 4 days on which I don't play tennis and do the exercises set by my local Physio.

The hard part of the Sinew and muscle stretching had already been done by your staff and the devoted nursing and attention was important to me.
