Re: Resurfacing doctors in Washington State

[Guest guest]

Janie-

You are smart to do the research. I did the same. Talked to many people as

well as surgeons. In the end it is important to trust your choice. It takes

tremendous courage to decide on a procedure that is potentially so life changing

and also controversial. Going to Belgium was a shocker for my daughter who was

a student at the U of Washington. She has a medical background and thought I

was nuts. She accompanied me to Belgium and was incredibly impressed. I would

do it again. (She would urge me to do it again!)

I know I echo the thoughts of those who tell you not to wait too long.

Originally I had thought I would receive a periacetabular osteotomy and was

crushed when I was told I was no longer a candidate. It seemed like the end of

hope. This was, of course prior to finding out about resurfacing I can do

anything I want now. Incredible.

In fact isn't this weather crazy? I understand that your area has been quite

severely hit. It is not too bad here in Spokane.. I may go cross country skiing

tomorrow- my day off....

Take care,

Okay, I will let the Dr. office handle the insurance stuff. I am going

Thanks.

Hi Tug,

Yeah, this weather is something, isn't it? Our internet service

(comcast) was actually out for about a whole day, and just came back

on awhile ago (3pm Wed). We probably got about 4-6 " here. My husband

and I live in Fremont. I'll bet you ended up with more than that in

Redmond yesterday(??)

That's encouraging info about Regence. Well, I'll find out more on

that topic soon…once I get the ball rolling.

How are you feeling since your surgery? Thank you very much for your help.
