'Tm back in the saddle again,
thanks to Capital Medical Center!"
- CarolSwindaU
Carol Swindall is so glad she's back riding her hone, J.IL, on her farm in Shdton. Less than
a year ago, she thought her horse riding days were over because of a bad hip.
"The pain in my leg was so severe, I couldn't swing my leg over the saddle,~ explains Carol.
=It was affecting my whole life."
l
When Carol decided she needed hip replacement surgery, she did plenty of research before
choosing Capital Medical Center. "Having surgery was not a decision I took lighdy," she says.
At a seminar conducted by Dr. Patrick Halpin, an orthopedic surgeon, she learned that Capital
Medical Center offers anterior hip replacement. This less invasive method, performed ona
specially designed operating table, avoids the cutting of any muscle. The benefits arc many~ less
pain, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery. She also discovered that the Joint & spine
Center at Capital Medical Center was designated the best in Washington State in 2010.
Carol also participated in Capital Medical Center's Joifit Camp,'where she got to talk to
her mescal team ~.~re her surgery On December 14, 2010. =I just can't say enough about the
care I received during my hospital stay," says Carol. =[ was absolutely thrilled. On New Year's
Eve, I was able to dance with my husband. And by mid-February, I was riding J.R. again.
My hip is pain free!"
