Since the surgery, I no longer limp and almost feel as good as new.
I had surgery to resurface my left hip in March 2005 at the age of 39. I was extremely active for my entire life. I was a gymnast in high school and started running in college. I continued to run after college and started teaching high impact and step aerobics.

I thank you two every time I use this hip.
I hope you and Dr. G fully realize how you change lives for the better. What a calling you two have, and how well you answer the call. As for me, it’s spring in New England, and in the past week I have biked 60 miles, ridden two horses 10 miles (or so) and – yes – run 4 miles on a very soft surface. I thank you two every time I use this hip.

Every step I take now in the canyons, I thank my lucky stars I found you guys.
This is the Grand Gulch in Southeastern Utah. There is wonderful ancient rock art and beautiful cliff dwellings to be seen. It was a cold day with the temps in the 30's. The hip gave me NO problems, especially since I was carrying a bunch of gear and food in my pack.

![I climbed [this mountain] 120 days after my 2nd hip resurfacing surgery.](https://www.grossortho.com/pagelet-post-images/client-3650/website-3116/i-climbed-this-mountain-120-days-after-my-2nd-hip-resurfacing-surgery-595741756049184.jpg)
I climbed [this mountain] 120 days after my 2nd hip resurfacing surgery.
This picture is from the top of Mount of the Holy Cross which is 14,005 feet. I climbed it on August 25, 120 days after my 2nd hip resurfacing surgery. It was a 12-mile hike and 5,700 vertical feet in elevation gain. I felt great and know that I couldn't have done it with those old hips. You guys are awesome and I will continue to send anyone I know that needs help to you.
