Summary:
"Get Hip! is written for active adults considering hip surgery. It leads readers along the path from diagnoses, through an operating room, past initial pains and weaknesses to full recovery. Taylor traces his steps as he discovers hip pains, decides on surgery and chooses how and where to do it. He elaborates on each stage of his recovery, culminating in a kayak outing with orcas and a trek in Patagonia. All patients are different, so Taylor supplements his personal experience with stories of eleven other hip surgery patients, male and female, couch potatoes to exercise fanatics, between the ages of 30 and 88. Written by a patient and for patients, the book translates medicine into layman's terms. At the same time, it features tips, insights from Taylor's surgeon, Dr. Wayne Moschetti and footnotes to medical studies"--Page [4] of cover.
