I had my left hip resurfaced by Dr Gross six months ago. I'd had the right hip resurfaced by another surgeon four years before that. I wanted to take a moment and share my progress, as an encouragement to others. Yesterday I jogged for the first time in 4 1/2 years, a very slow 2 1/2 miles, but I had no problem doing it. Since six weeks post-op I've been walking daily, and regularly using the elliptical and weight machines at the gym so I was physically ready. Also I'm in the process of moving across country so the hips have been tested by decluttering, packing, and loading the moving pods, with no problems. Those of you who have moved know what I am talking about. This is truly amazing. I have more mobility and range of motion now than I have had in nine years, and it continues to get better every day. Hip resurfacing has given me back my active life. If you are on the fence, I encourage you to go for it, with Dr. Gross or one of the other experienced surgeons.
