Jaze’s Bilateral Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Gross 2009

July 24, 2009

I’m 16 days post op.  Dr. Gross performed a hip resurfacing on my right hip July 8, 2009.  I spent one day in the hospital and flew home to Evergreen CO.

I hit the ground running, so to speak, and was OK’d for the cane 1st day. Resumed working out on Sunday.

This is my second hip resurfacing and the first one was a much tougher recovery.  I think the fact that I was in better physical shape for this surgery made a huge difference.  I worked out up to the day of surgery.

Dr. Gross and the gang did my left hip 11/2007 (doing great) and did my right hip 7/8/2009.  I am 16 days post op. Things are progressing nicely, walked a mile and a half today around Evergreen Lake without a cane or crutch.  Been walking everyday since surgery.  Doing Post op exercises twice a day for 30 minutes each., This is the key to healing and will be returning to work this Monday.  I can’t say enough about the expertise of this fine surgeon.  It was well worth the extra expense of travel.
