I am at present resting at home after an operation on my left shoulder, made necessary after a clumsy fall that compressed the shoulder joint.
After a regimen of physiotherapy and steroids it was deemed that an operation called a subacromial decompression was arranged and took place at the orthopaedic unit of the Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester, Dorset.
I was given a choice of three hospitals, in line with the government's policy of offering a choice and I feel that I made the correct decision.
The choices on the list were The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospital, Poole General Hospital and the Dorset county.
Bournemouth was too far away, Poole is not a very nice hospital so I was left with Dorchester .

Ryde Isle of Wight
Living in Ryde on the Isle of Wight I think gives me a perfect inside knowledge to be able to write this review. I have lived here for a good few years now and have enjoyed pretty much every single year.
The Isle of Wight is situated off of the very south of mainland England and a 15-minute ferry crossing from Portsmouth. One of the places you can catch a ferry to is Ryde and it is very easy to be able to hop over from Portsmouth just for the day to the island. Ryde is very popular with holidaymakers, tourists and island residents alike. It has the second biggest shopping town on the Isle of Wight and not only has great shops but has a load of wonderful beaches.
From the beaches you are able to have a wonderful skyline view over Portsmouth and Southsea. The Spinnaker Tower is easy visible on a clear ...
Advantages: Lovely beaches Disadvantages: Not much to do other than chill out
and entertainment to keep the land lubbers occupied.
The Isle of Wight festival is held every year, and although it isn?t technically held in Ryde, it?s worth mentioning as it is getting bigger and better every year. Last year we had the Stereophonics, Snow Patrol, The Who, David Bowie and the Manic Street Preachers.
Ryde carnival happens in early September, just before the children return to school. It is quite a memorable occasion and it?s lovely to see everyone dressed up enjoying themselves, along with the elaborate floats decked out with beautiful decorations.
