Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

[jgenese]

I'd like to wish Pat and all you surface hippies out there a very happy holiday. Thanks to all who post, and Pat for a terrific site. This is an incredible site that touches so many around the globe and makes us feel like we are not alone with our hip problems. I wish everyone a healthy and happy new year with their new hips, and to those getting ready to get new hips. Once again, Thank you Pat for making this site possible!

I'll echo that-well done Pat and hope that your recovery's going well.
Wishing all fellow (and prospective) hippies a fantastic 2011.
Best from your UK buddy

ps did my first run in 4 years in the snow over Hampstead Heath (2 miles-10.5 month post op) felt great but my lower back's a little sore day after probably over did it!

Third echo of thanks! I'm Day 15 post-op, and these internet sites (Pat's and Vicky's) have largely been responsible for me learning enough to get a resurfacing operation. The posts also have helped me understand the rehab process. Much appreciated.... Happy Hippy Holidays to all.

Happy Christmas and very best wishes to everyone for 2011 and onwards.

What a great site.    Lots of support and information.   It was 6 years for my left BHR last May and I still like popping in to follow people's progress.  Marvellous!

I can't agree more with the sentiments on this site.  It has been an extremely welcome source of information and gave me a lot of confidence going into the surgery!

Thanks Pat

All the best to everyone in 2011
