RBHR 11/11/2010
I had my first BHR on my right hip 11/11/10 at the age of 59. I'm going in to
have the left hip resurfaced 12/13/12. My physician is Dr. Micheal Dayton,
University Hospital, Denver CO. This has been a great success. I did my research
ahead of time and felt that why take out more natural bone then necessary. I do
need to be careful in Yoga classes. Since I do road bike a lot and my work can
be relatively physical, my hamstrings are tight. Too much fun!
LBHR 12/13/2011
Everything went very well. I actually was released a day earlier from
University Hospital than when I had my RBHR.
I am through with in home PT and am walking with a cane. The first timearound,
Dr. Dayton had a difficult time dislocating my right femur. Due to the extra
bruising, my recovery took me a little longer. I'm extending my exercises slowly
and hoping to be walking around the gym by the end of next week.
Dr. Dayton averages one resurfacing a week. I think there are more physicians
getting into this. I still would highly recommend Dr. Dayton. He does only hip
and knees.
