@garrettjosemans: This sort of thing seriously makes me emotional. It’s now been 6 months since my two hip resurfacing surgeries and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. I tried just about every approach to physical therapy and nothing was working so I finally felt I had to resort to surgery, and now I just wish I had done it sooner. It’s been life changing for me. Now that I’m at 6 months, it’s time to start running and easing back into sports for the first time in over 5 years, but it’s going to be a long road. I feel ready but I need to keep patient and keep thrilling myself back because I’ve got a long life ahead to prepare for with this. I’m glad I looked into everything but I really wish my physical therapists and the outside noise wasn’t so dogmatic about their approach and fearful of surgery. It’s a viable option and in some cases like mine it’s the only option. I spent more in physical therapy than I did on one of my surgeries. Get as many opinions as you need but these doctors aren’t stupid or evil. They want the best outcome for you, that’s why they go into the field. If you’ve got any questions, shoot me a message. I’m going to go through my backlog of messages this week so I’ll find you in there and respond if you’re asking about my surgery decision, physical therapy, or recovery.
