gradually increased. One day in January 2007, I woke up in the morning and
stepped out of bed placing my normal weight on my right leg. A sharp pain shot
from my right foot to my hip, and I sat back down quickly.

I made an immediate appointment with my orthopedist, and he discovered that the
cartilage in my right hip joint … Read the rest

Shuey gets hip to a comeback

What seemed like a routine save, 1 1/3 scoreless innings to close a 6-3 victory over the Angels on June 30, was anything but for Orioles reliever Paul Shuey, who in the five years since his previous save had three hip surgeries, including a hip-replacement procedure that has not yet been approved in the U.S., three full seasons away from the big leagues and one retirement.

Bill Colohan   LBHR Dr. Bose  2007

On the 13th of March I had a BHR done in Chennai by Dr. Bose. I would like to give feedback regarding my observations and experiences while there.

I left Cincinnati, OH on 3-7, arrived Chennai, India 3-9. I flew business class and cannot imagine anyone doing otherwise. I would highly encourage anyone with the means to do so to fly business class.

I entered Apollo Specialty Hospital on 3-12, a day before surgery. They ran a series of tests, EKG, blood, urine analysis, etc. I spoke briefly with Dr. Bose and some of … Read the rest

Date of Surgery: April 6,2006
 Surgeon: Harlan Amstutz, Head Joint Replacement Institute Los Angeles, CA
 Hospital: Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles, CA

Prior to surgery:
 I noticed a stinging tightness in both hip joints after dancing, probably since I was about 40 years old. It always went away with normal rest. I had full range of motion, strength, endurance, etc. and so I thought this was what everyone felt after taking class or performing. I really didn’t have any significant pain or limitations until early in 2005, when things went "downhill" extremely … Read the rest

It was 7 months as of the 15th of June.

Finished in 1:43:32 Good for 243 pl out of 900+ other crazies doing this. It was 13 minutes slower than my time in 1999 but I guess the mountain has gotten steeper in the last 8 years.

I don’t consider myself in the same catagorie as Corey or Floyd, so all of … Read the rest
