Hip, Hip . . . Hooray!

Carrie Pepper's Writing Cottage in Spring

My new hip and I  are home and doing great!  I’m on day 4 of my six-week recovery program and aside from the tenderness where the stitches are, I have literally NO pain!  I wanted to  put a few people’s minds to rest on the subject of metal-on-metal hips.


I had my surgery done at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Los Angeles on September 7th.  Dr. McPherson had 5 surgeries that day – including mine – and he still came to see me that night.  The staff was amazing & everyone, including all my nurses – Sandra, Nick, Shayna & Merced, my physical therapist, Radnick (we just call him Rad!), Dr. Matias, my anesthesiologist, and my Occupational Therapist, Karah.  Here’s sending a HUGE thank you to all of you!!!

I’m home with my 6 week plan and looking forward to my first game of tennis in over 10 years!  Since I can’t drive for six weeks – anyone who wants to come to my house and learn what their antioxidant score is, come on over.  I have a BioPhotonic Scanner (just like the one Dr. Oz used on his May 17th show)

called “Cancer-Fighting Antioxidants.”  Come on over and get your score!

Need a hip, shoulder or knee?  These are the guys to see!  Dr. Edward McPherson & Carlos Vasquez, his #1
