Well I went in for the 5 month exam and the Dr said "see ya in a year" and he thinks this hip should last me over 20yrs maybe even 25 which is good news since they can only do so many revisions before there isn't enough bone to graft to.
I have to admit I like Dr Kim's style at South Bend Orthopedics he doesn't pull any punches and takes great effort to make sure you understand whats going on before he proceeds. It looks like fixing the left hip has bought us time on the right and im hoping for 2-3 yrs before I need that hip replaced.
Now the bad news, no more snow skiing/snowboard, water skiing, full court basketball and any sport that would pound the hip, but I can golf, scubadive, ride a bike, swim and just enjoy not being in pain.....aaaaaahhhhhhh
