My One-Year Checkup

Had my one-year check up this week and it went very well -- excellent, in fact.

X-ray images show that both hip replacements have fused well with the bones and that they have not moved even a tiny bit.

Dr. Bully manipulated both hips and determined that all is well.

What a miracle surgery! A year ago I could barely walk and then only with a lot of pain. I have no pain. It's the surgery and follow-up care. I exercise almost daily and that's helping a lot.

Bottom line: it has been a great experience. If you're on the fence about getting hip replacement surgery, all I can say is that you will know when it's time.

My next scheduled appointment is Nov. 16, 2011.

Good luck.
