Teresa Page Hip Replacement
Starting the new year off on the right foot is something most of us aspire to do. Teresa Page gave a real, literal meaning to that this year, after getting a hip replacement. Mrs. Page has not walked since 2018 and since then, she’s had 9 grandchildren. “They are amazed,” she said as she explained her grandchildren’s reaction to her ability to walk now. She also mentioned she has quite the to-do list now that she is “getting her life back.”
Teresa is 66 years old and loves spending time with her family. Her hip pain prevented her from being able to really spend the quality of time she hoped to with them. She likes to collect gemstones in her spare time, but her hobbies are expanding. Teresa said, “Everything is a new experience for me now, the way this has changed my life.”
Prior to her hip replacement in October 2023 by Dr. Brian Cohen, Orthopedic Surgeon, “If I moved the wrong way it made me fall to my face on the floor. I couldn’t move sometimes it hurt so bad.” Teresa got in the habit of sitting, making jewelry, and reading to pass time. “For the first time in 43 years I can get along and maybe do something exciting!”
Her experience with Dr. Cohen was one she is forever appreciative of. “I appreciate him and this new hip more than anything in this world.” Teresa expressed how comfortable and informed she was by the staff. She never had a question left unanswered. Her experience, she explained, “went marvelous. If someone is like me and when I was in excruciating pain, get Dr. Cohen’s advice and if advised, get the replacement. It’s not as bad as you think and it’s well worth it.”
Teresa is looking forward to consolidating her two homes, decluttering and taking walks with her grandchildren this year! If you find yourself like Teresa, contact us!
