I was very limited in what I was able to do, prior to the surgery. The surgery and treatment at the hospital were terrific. I was able to leave the hospital the next day, only using a cane. I did not take any pain medicine from that day forward. The surgery was June 3 and I was dancing at our daughter's wedding June 29. I resumed playing golf in July. Dr. Alexiades and his team were amazing!
