I am four days post-op on my second BHR. My first was done on
12/18/07. Both surgeries were performed by Dr. Andy Engh and the very capable
teams at Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic and the Inova Joint Replacement Center at
Inova Mount Vernon Hospital in Alexandria, Virginia. While this procedure is not
easy or painless and a certain level of commitment is necessary on the part of
the patient, the opportunity to regain the ability to walk and participate in
normal activities, with no pain is truly a gift. I still have a ways to go, but
the prospect of trading the pain and inactivity I have experienced over the last
several years (probably more like five to seven years), for the prospect of
living a normal life is overwhelming. I would like to publicly thank Dr. Andy
and all the other folks involved for the gift they have given me.
