One Week to go to Operation

Thursday, May 28. 2009

My name is Michael Smith, and on the fourth of June, I will be having a hip resurfacing of my right hip. I plan to try to post updates as frequently as possible, with update about how a 34 year old patient copes with the recovery from the operation. My surgeon is Dr Bamford, and the operation will take place at Stepping Hill Hospital. I plan to also post, video clips, which as Media student should be fairly easy for me. Michael

Question regarding swelling

Monday, May 18. 2009

<a href="http://"></a>I am day 4 post op. Had my Left hip resurfaced by Dr. Mont this past Thursday. I am feeling great and so excited to be on the road towards recovery! I do have a question regarding swelling. My left hip has 29 staples and, as expected, is quite swollen. My question is...do I lay low and ice it with minimal walking on crutches OR do I continue to motor around knowing this is part of the recovery? I would love any advice! Thanks so much! Kristen Cook

Back to what i call a normal life again.

Friday, May 8. 2009

I will first say that in june of 07 i had a left hip resurfacing done. After a year of pain free life i again began having pain...this time in my right hip. Back on pain meds i went. Going from one pill to the next and finally ending up on Morphine. On jan 16th 09 i again had a hip resurfacing done. 2 months after surgery i was playing golf in Phoenix pain free. Im once again drug free and enjoying my "so called" normal life again. Thanks to our Canadian medical system and my doctor, my quality of life is back. Garth.
