Decisions: Who, When, What?
What doctor should I choose? When should I get my resurface, this year? What device? To answer these questions, I posted many questions to the newsgroup, surfacehippy. The address is http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/surfacehippy/I decided to go with Dr. Bose for several reasons. He has a wonderful reputation, and a minimally invasive approach that should afford me a quick recovery. He has no restrictions on activity after healing. And the price was right - $6500US for all hospital and doctor services. I only had to get over there (to India) and pay for my recovery at a resort after being discharged from the hospital. I am hoping the Birmingham hip is right for me, as the long track record sounds good. But if the ASR affords a better fit, then so be it. I'll let Dr. Bose decide.
As for timing? I have a large commitment in the fall (promoting a large cyclocross race) so it's either now, or after. I chose now. Time to prepare.
