Update- the resurfaced right hip continues to feel great. Slowly but surely the (un-operated) left hip will wear out, but so far it is holding up well. This summer has brought some great outdoor activities- rode a 100K "Tour de Cure" bike ride at 16 mph to benefit those with diabetes, then today I swam the 1500m leg as part of an Olympic Triathlon team in Hague, NY (slow but steady at 31:09).
Getting the resurfacing done has helped me to stay active and enjoy life! I never was a big runner, but occasionally I do run a 1.5 mile loop near my house and I do use the Hoka running shoes- no pain at all! Waterskiing- my passion- has taken a back seat this summer as we are "empty nesters" now, with the boys out of the house, and there are rarely spotters to ride in the boat (NYS law).
Have a great summer!
