HELLO ALL I'M 16 DAYS POST , DR GROSS PERFORMED RESURFACE ON RIGHT HIP JULY 8TH, ,I SPENT 1 DAY IN THE HOSPITAL AND FLEW HOME (EVERGREEN CO.) HIT THE GROUND RUNNING (SO TO SPEAK) WAS OK'D FOR THE CANE 1ST DAY , RESUMED WORKING OUT ON SUNDAY ,UPPER BODY ONLY, AND DAILY WALKING STARTED OUT 1/4 MILE AND WORKED MY WAY UP TO 3 MILES W/CANE IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS , TODAY I WALKED AROUND EVERGREEN LAKE (1 1/2 MILES) W/O A CANE DID 2 SETS OF STAIRS LEG OVER LEG USING RAIL FOR SUPPORT. I'M SIMPLY AMAZED AT MY RECOVERY , BEEN DOING THE POST OP EXERSIZES 2X ADAY FOR ABOUT 30 MIN. EA. THIS IS MY SECOND RE SURFACE HAD THE LEFT DONE 11/07.

You are my hero.I will be having surgery in 13 days and counting and I can only pray that my recovery is as perfect as yours sounds.If I have a bad day,I will look back on your post and it will inspire me to move forward(within limits that is).Is this your 2nd re surface on the same hip?Thanks again for the encouraging post. I have 4 young children that need their mom to run( so to speak )after them.I'm ready to be that HIP mom again who likes to sing/dance with the kids.
