Yes, it's been 5 years since my hip replacements, and all is well. I phoned my surgeon as directed to make an appointment to see him for my 5-year checkup and his office told me that if everything was okay, he didn't need to see me.
So, that's it, very lucky, blessed, to have had the surgeries and have had everything work out well.
I'm not anticipating any (or at least many) new blog posts. The whole story is here.
If I can offer one word of advice to prospective hip replacement candidates it's this: do your post-op exercises and don't stop. I've continued now for 5 years, am as flexible as ever.
If I get two words of advice: My doctor, Dr. Buly, at the Hospital for Special Surgery, and his team and the entire hospital are terrific, outstanding, excellent.
So, that's it. Good luck.
