Former athlete and paratrooper, I left the US Army in 1989 and started a software business but did no exercise until I woke up one morning in December, 2010 weighing 295 pounds on a 6' 1" frame. At that height and weight, I described myself as "a retired linebacker for the Mafia". Seven months later I had dieted and exercised away 120 pounds and I started running. Fast forward to January, 2015 when I got a hip x-ray after telling a doctor that I had to consciously raise my right foot to take off my running shoe. The diagnosis was simple - mild to moderate osteoarthitis of the right hip due to displasia with obesity as a contributing factor. I've looked at resurfacing versus total hip replacement and am having an anterior THR on 1/20/16.
