Dr. Gross Right Hip Surgery

[Quig]

20 weeks already? Can you believe how time flies!?


Really great to hear you're pleased with your surgery Larry. I'm in the same boat, I truly cannot believe how good I'm feeling and it just keeps getting better.  8) 


Counting down to 6 months!!

Well I biked about 20 miles over the weekend and have been walking about an hour a day. My hip feels great. The more I push it the better it feels, I guess all the muscles are finally working properly.

I am going to focus on my core/posture, it has taken a beating since all these injuries from 2009. I notice I have anterior pelvic tilt, which I am working on correcting.

Great job Larry! New hips are awesome!  8)

Thanks a lot Quig, its nice that you are recovering so well, since we had them done the same week. Again, I think it all comes down to picking the surgeon, you cannot go wrong with Dr.Gross and his staff.

Well I tested out my new hip not the way I intended. My lab got attacked by two pit bulls, I had to sprint after one pitbull, I jumped on top of it and choked it till the owner could get the collar on. The other I had to pick up over my shoulder. One of the scariest things that ever happened to me.

My adrenalin  took over once I saw my dog being attacked. Lucky she only got five puncture wounds around her neck. She seems to be ok I took her to the vet.

My hip feels good from all the jumping/cutting and sprinting.

I've never heard of any resurfacing doctors suggesting that you not wrestle pit bulls, so you're probably good to go.

p.s. holy crap, that's a crazy test of your hip!

[Quig]

Yikes! Not the way you want to test your hip. I'm glad your pup is ok and that your hip passed the test. And great job protecting your dog, I would have done the same thing if something came after my girl.


I too had an interesting 'test' last week. I disturbed some yellow jackets while messing with some firewood. Before I knew it I was stung 4 times, once on the top of my head, once on my back and twice on my left leg. Without thinking I absolutely bounded for the nearest door to get inside and away from the swarm. I was pleasantly surprised at my capabilities! I was definitely a little sore the next day or two. I haven't moved like that in a very, very long time...  8)

Larry and Quig - great tests!  Don't recommend to all folks, but glad you both came through OK.  Good Luck.  Pat

Well I am eight months out and did a jog/walk for 1.5 miles yesterday. That's the first time I have jogged in 8 years. My HS hip felt great. I had some joint pain in the non HR hip after running, but not bad today.

I am feeling it in the muscles today as expected. I miss running, so I am going to introduce it back every other day.

Amazing these HR components feel so natural. I never get why Dr.Gross told me I might not like the feel of it.

Regards,

Larry
