Hey Jon,

Dr. Su and HSS are the best in my eyes, 7+ weeks out and doing great.  You will be too, nice Christmas gift.
Don't blame the marathons and IM's for the hip hiccup, think of it (BHR) as an opportunity to get back there.
I know I'm going back to Hawaii for lucky #13!

As Hernanu says patience is #1 afterwards.  The horrible pain will be gone and you'll want to take off...

Good times are coming...

Thanks to all for replies and input.  Really looking forward to getting back to normal. Slow degradation over last six years...

Dec. 27!

The complication rate for 925 hip resurfacings done by Dr. Su is 1.3 %, with a minimum follow-up of 2 years.
See www.orthosupersite.com/view.aspx?rid=89618 for the report.

    Don't seem to read much about Silky's mention of golfing (doesn't look as hard has my spasmatic running fits for four hours!).  But I got to golf at 7 1/2 weeks yesterday, with operated hip on right side, and right handed.  Was scared to death with the initial swings and rotation.  Could NOT do that for 6 months without being reduced to a crippled mess.  After several holes, still felt loose, had not dislocated myself and felt no twinges.  Normal swings from there on in, and wow, my hip was about the ONLY thing that wasn't sore after a year of non-activity.  The surgery is a miracle.  Dr. Su, Dr. Gross, any of the good ones...just get it done and start swinging!!  Fore!!

Does anyone know how to start a new topic?

I am 48 hours out from surgery and wanted to post on progress.

Today is cardio work up, pre screening and hip class.

Hey Jim - I put mine in Hip Stories, but you can put your topic anywhere.

• Go to Hip Talk
• Select the topic (I chose Hip Stories)
• Select New Topic in the top right area
• Give it a title, ready to go.

Here is a post that has some graphics to help how to post a new topic.

I have not posted in a long time. I am a patient of Dr. Su’s and had a Birmingham hip replacement 12 1/2 years ago. I have had a flawless procedure and absolutely no problems since my hip surgery. I was quite young when I had it done from a motor vehicle accident.

I went for several opinions in Philadelphia, where I am from before seeking out Dr. Sue at HSS, the moment I met him I knew he was the right one for me.

He is caring and outstanding in every way. I am very active. I’m a competitive golfer. I walk almost every day and I’m doing great more than a decade later. I know nothing about Dr. Gross other than when I had mine done. He was one of the few other surgeons who had experience doing this procedure , I’m sure he is excellent as well but I did want to let you know that Dr. Su is fantastic and you should know qualms about having him take care of you. Additionally, HSS in New York is just the top place. I recently underwent cervical fusion for an unrelated matter at HSS and again the nursing care is the best.

I hope this answers any questions for you and is helpful
