Introduction to this Blog
I have become a patient advocate for hip resurfacing because this procedure gave me back my life and I want to spread the word about hip resurfacing any way that I can. I want to see positive results for hip resurfacing worldwide and I believe it is important to keep the lines of communication open between the patients and the doctors. I want hip resurfacing to succeed.
Through my volunteer work over the past few years I have had the honor and privilege of meeting many of the world’s top hip resurfacing surgeons and I stay in touch with many of them on a regular basis. I have also been invited to and attend regularly many orthopedic surgeon conferences and have been able to bring back valuable information to the patient community from a patients’ perspective.
I am here to assist those that would like assistance and to answer any questions that I can answer and more importantly to direct you to valuable information for your own research. Every patient should do their own research in order to find the right surgeon, device, and procedure for them.
I have recently started this blog so that you can post your own day to day experience from pre surgery to during and after during your post op and recovery, Post about your fears, excitement emotions, any thoughts at all that you are feeling so others will know what to expect when they face their journeys and all in a safe environment – I still work regularly on the Hip Resurfacing Site for information updated regularly where there is tons of information but this Blog will allow you to blog you own story daily or as often as you like. BUT if you need support then click on the support group to communicate with other patients.
Post Your Own Blog
And you can post your own blogs on this site too – click here - it is really easy!
NOTE: This is not a support group, it is instead a place for patients to blog about their hip resurfacing journeys from pre-surgery, during and after surgery to share their journeys and information.
Kind regards
