"Your good work continues to bring happiness to patients lives. This past weekend I completed my first half ironman event in Daytona. I completed it in 4 hours and 58 minutes and 35 seconds: 1.2 Mile swim, 29.49, 56 Mile bike in 2 hours 41 minutes; Half marathon in 1 hour 37 minutes and 51 seconds."
"I am happy to report that [my hip] surgery appears to have been a total success. I have started to play national tournaments again. Last weekend I played a National Category 2 Seniors tournament in Jackson, Mississippi. I got to the finals of the men's 65s singles and doubles events. My partner and I won the doubles finals (photo attached)... Along the way I beat the number 8 and 14 guys in the country in straight sets and my partner and I beat a team tied for no. 6 in the country in the doubles finals in straight sets. I still need to improve my fitness but I am getting better every week. After beating the no. 8 guy in the country in the semifinals I turned to my friends who were watching and said: "Thank you to my team of doctors and physical therapists." Seriously, thanks to all of you for keeping me on the court and playing competitively! I absolutely could not do it without you."
"My active life style in hiking, mountaineering, road racing, tennis, rock climbing, sea kayaking was seriously affected by my left hip advanced osteoarthritis. After almost 3 years of degradation and loss of mobility, lack of sleep due to pain, i took the leap of faith, travelled down the coast during the pandemic for 14 h and had the procedure done at the hospital with no issues whatsoever. My recovery has been very quick and successful due to my prior fitness level, age and low weight."
"[I'm] a 10 year NFL veteran. Dr. Gross performed bi-lateral hip resurfacing on my severely arthritic hips in 2017. After rehabbing for a year, I was able to return to competitive triathlons and completed IRONMAN Florida in 2018. Since then, I have resumed my normal training schedule and honestly feel better than I have in at least ten years. As part of my training for my next IRONMAN event, I ran 10 miles with ease yesterday completely pain-free. Trust me when I tell you this is nothing short of miraculous after the extreme pain I endured for so many years.
