Mick’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Su 2008

May 28, 2008

I just had my right hip done with a Birmingham hip by Dr. Su last Tuesday. Eight days later I am walking around with one crutch and have been on the bike (10 to 20 minutes so far) in the trainer since day 5. I was off the percocet by day 4 and am just doing Ultracet 4-5 times a day. I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Su, I believe his skill is why I am progressing as well as I am. One thing that has made this so much easier is that Dr. Su has no hip restrictions. The no 90 degree rule would make day to day so much more difficult. I am putting on socks and moving pretty well. I could actually go without crutches now, but have been asked to wait until the end of the week and then only inside. Have my 12 rehab exercises and am cruising along, obviously I am very pleased how this has gone so far!
