In March 2009 hip pain had significantly negatively impacted my life. Performing basic daily functions became extremely difficult. On March 10, 2009, I had hip resurfacing surgery performed by Dr. Kreuzer at Memorial Herman, Memorial City Hospital in Houston Texas. The surgery was remarkably “un-remarkable.” My recovery has been quick and is near complete 6 weeks after the surgery. I live in a four story townhome and was able to negotiate the three flights of stairs to and from my bedroom beginning upon release from the hospital on March 13. As an exercise regimen, I climb 30 flights of stairs in my office building 4-5 times a week.

I am well pleased with the hip resurfacing surgery and the resultant enhancement in my life. I am looking forward to having resurfacing performed on the other hip in mid-May 2009.
