Hi,

I am a 55 year old male. Dr. Gross performed HRS on my right hip January 3,
2007.

Although everyone might not have my experience I would like to share it with
others.

Briefly:
surgery at 0730 weds 1/3/2007

I was able to walk almost without a limp at 0800 Thursday. Dr. Gross asked me to
use my cane in case of a spasm, I did but didn’t need it.

Friday morning I gathered my stuff, put it on cart, wheeled it into the elevator
and met my ride in the lobby.

We stopped at Hooters for oysters and beer on our way back to Spartanburg. I had
no help at home, I really could have driven myself home from the hospital if my
car had been there.

I returned to work Monday after lazing around all weekend. It has been one month
now my life is improving every day in every way.

Thanks
