Dear Mr Hand, the reason I am writing to you now is just to say what a fantastic job you did on my right shoulder.

After two to three years of absolute misery (between injections) I now enjoy as much flexibility and strength in the wayward shoulder as I could possibly hope for.

Dear Mr Hand, you carried out a shoulder replacement on my left shoulder.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your expertise and care which I received from all the staff whilst in hospital. At present I have nearly all the movement restored in my left arm. It is a joy to be able to engage in some two handed gardening.
