I had a Total left Hip Replacement on 7/18/2023 performed by Dr. Star. The surgery went well and was routine. It is exactly one month later and I walked 2 miles today without the necessity of a walker. My new hip feels great. There is still some mild swelling but it gets better every day. I have to thank Dr. Star's entire staff, including the nurses that cared for me at Lansdale Hospital. I had never had surgery in my life, I was petrified of having a Hip Replacement. I actually tried to walk off the table in the O.R. and almost ripped out my catheter. I have to thank Dr. Romano, the Anesthesiologist, who gave me a sedative and talked me back on the table. The surgery went well and I woke up in Recovery and went home the same day. Recovery at home has been uneventful except I had a mild skin reaction to the iodine surgical prep, and on my good "normal" right knee I noted that the knee cap was red, swollen, and painful. No explanation when I questioned a cause to RN's, PT's, or PA's.
