New C2K, Lexington suggestions

March 28, 2004

I am just back from Lexington Medical Center with my new C2K. Dr.

Gross, Lee Webb and the whole staff - both at Midlands Orthopedic and

the hospital were fantastic. Pain management has been great - I have

been in almost no pain. I got home (to Virginia) yesterday afternoon

and was able to walk to the corner (with the aid of crutches) this

morning.

Lee recommends people stay at the Holiday Inn Airport on Drive -

A closer and (I think) nicer place is the Hampton Inn right across

I-26 from the Hospital. They gave us a $55/night rate for being

associated with the hospital (because I was a patient).

If you end up going to Dr. Gross (and I recommend him highly), don't

miss checking out Columbia - it's a really nice little city.

Yeah, I think Dr Gross is an artist... and unbelievably skilled. I had the same

experience. My recovery has been steady and pretty easy. I just keep doing the

activities I couldn't do when I was in such pain. Walking, stairs, sitting down

& getting up, driving, raking the lawn, sweeping the porch, etc. Things that

one needs a solid set of muscles to do. I started slowly and have gradually

picked up the pace and the tasks that I've asked my hip to do. It's good. Glad

to hear of your experience. Joyce (Dr Gross, LHR, 2.2.04)
