Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hi, Folks. I wanted to share this experience with you. This past winter when I was researching hip procedures, I came upon the Cormet site on the Internet. I must have emailed them with some questions (I can't remember), but they did send me this nifty booklet on the implant AND they sent me a CD/DVD showing an actual hip resurfacing surgery. Well, I knew better than to watch that thing before I had surgery so I put it away and forgot about it. Yesterday while sorting through things (packing) I came across that file with the DC in it. And decided to pop it into my computer and watch what I'd been through. HOLY BATBEANS! Have you all seen this thing?? I made it past the incision (watching through my parted fingers) but had to turn it off when the time came to dislocate the hip. No wonder my psyche wouldn't let my body go to sleep for 4 weeks after that! No wonder we have muscle pain. I mean, folks, this is some kind of procedure. My sister loves to watch that sort of stuff so she popped it back in to watch. I entered and left the room according to how squeamish I felt. I have this whole new level of admiration and respect for our surgeons. And I have a whole new level of wonder at this ol' hip. But I tell you, it'll be a great day when artificial cartilage is invented and one can just get a nice injection and go on about their business.
