I'm young, well at 40 I still think I'm pretty young, and I now feel like I'm in my 20's again! I used to say "I have the hips of a 90 year old" and while they may still be, they certainly don't feel that way anymore! I had terrible arthritis pain in my hips for years. I couldn't sleep through the night without waking up crying, I hobbled everywhere, even almost crashed-n-burned down stairs on a monthly basis...then came 'Superman' (at least that's what I like to refer to Dr. Meckel as). I held out for as long as I could to get surgery because they say it's best to wait. After almost 7 years, I finally took the plunge and Dr. Meckel walked me through every step of the way. His staff was so helpful and attentive. I never felt that I wasn't fully supported by any of them. By the time I made came to grips that I wanted the surgery, I hoped we'd be able to perform it that very day....while that wasn't possible (obviously), I had just the perfect amount of time to prepare my home, my family, my work, and myself for the day. Even though it felt like I was waiting for Christmas to come (like I did as a kid), it really wasn't that long of a wait. Today, I have a new lease on life and I couldn't be more grateful for Dr. Meckel's fabulous work.
