Update: October 6, 2016 : My retirement has been awesome thanks to these hips.  If it wasn’t for HR, I’d be sitting, probably in a wheelchair, watching TV all day.  Instead my wife and I travel all over, mostly to short distance triathlons.  Hawaii, California, Florida, South Carolina, lots of local races.  We are having a ball. This long run/hike was way out of my usual racing.  Took me 12 … Read the rest

This passed Saturday ( 9/27/2016), I ran the Berkeley Trail Half-Marathon in California.  It was brutal, it was beautiful.  5800 ft of climbing and descending.  The pounding on the downhills left my whole body very sore, but mostly in my quads.  My glutes were worn out after.  Even my biceps were killing me.  My left side has always been a little weaker than my right and I could feel it … Read the rest

July 31, 2015

I had my right hip resurfaced in January 2003, during the original FDA clinical trial. I was 45, an athlete all of my life, and searching for an alternative to thr. I stumbled onto resurfacing doing my own research, and to make a long story short, flew to Columbia, sc(of all places!) to have the surgery performed by Dr. Gross. I think I was maybe his 200th case, and that was a … Read the rest

November 16, 2015

When I had my first done with Dr. Gross nearly 13 years ago, there were no options in the NYC area, where I live. In fact, there were very few surgeons doing the procedure in this country. I was part of the original FDA clinical trials, and was one of the first few hundred people to have resurfacing in the USA. My judgment at the time was that Dr. Gross was the … Read the rest
