7 Years in 8 Days HR Anniversary with Dr. Gross 2011

[imgetinold]

I was sent a message from a recent hippy related to one of my (ancient) posts, which prompted me to come back to the forum.


I had my right hip done by Dr. Gross on 1/11/2011.  Other than running, I've returned to every activity I've ever done, and honestly don't even think about my hip 99.9% of the time.  Anyone reading this who's on the fence......just consider what you want the next 5 years to be like.  I was 44 at the time I had mine done, and realized that there was a good chance it wouldn't last my lifetime.  However, I said that if I had to be sedentary, I'd rather do it at 65 years old than 45 years old.  But, by then there will be even better technology, so I can be active maybe until 85 years old. (Except the rest of the body doesn't want to comply all the time).  SO glad I did it.

Unfortunately, the other hip is showing signs now.  Only intermittently now, so no problem, but likely within maybe 3 years it'll have to get done.  And I won't hesitate for a moment....


Happy New Year everyone!

Hi  Andy


Nice to read about your update.  I know many people like to read the updates and perspective patients really like to read about people that had hip resurfacing in the past that are still going strong.


Thanks again for stopping by.


Best of luck to you!
