Today, 3/15/09, is the 3 year Anniversary of receiving my BHR with Dr. De
Smet of Belgium. Going to Belgium for a Hip Resurfacing was a wonderful
experinece. I was 61 when I had my resurfacing. This is the link to the free book I wrote about my experience
http://www.surfacehippy.info/belgium&mybhrebook.phpMy Surface Hippy website is also over 3 years old
http://www.surfacehippy.info I began the website on 12/11/2005 to help
people learn about hip resurfacing. My website currently recieves over
10,000 unique visitors a month who generate over 120,000 page views a month.
I hope my story, along with hundreds posted on my website, will help perspective patients learn about Hip Resurfacing and what a wonderful option it is compared to a THR.
Good Luck to all the past Surface Hippies and those about to become Surface Hippies. Life is a gift given to us to enjoy without pain. If you have hip problems, Hip Resurfacing could be your solution to returning to an active, painfree life.
