Jerry Laughrun – Hip Replacement

I am 60 years old and live in Newport News, VA. Late 2013, I developed hip pain while sitting. The pain grew steadily worse and I could only sit for short periods. In December 2013, my problem was determined to be an arthritic hip joint. On February 19th, 2014, I had hip replacement surgery by Dr. Boyd Haynes at Mary Immaculate Hospital. The surgery took about an hour and I was able to go home that night. The pain in my hip immediately disappeared. Thanks to the quality of the operation and in-home Physical Therapy, I only needed the assistance of a walker for 4 days and a cane for 1 day. 6 days after the surgery, I was able to walk around my house, including up and down the stairs, without assistance. I was able to return to work 18 days after the operation. I can now sit for a long as I need at work or in a car.
