It was a repair where the surgeon removed the dead tissue and stapled the healthy back into place. He reshaped the femoral head to remove the cam which caused the impingement and tear.  I have to continually reassess my fitness and reset expectations to sync with reality which is not easy.  In my head I should be able to bang out 8 - 9 minute miles. My body says, not today and I have to accept that. 
 

Doc. did say I have no restrictions and that I avoided a hip replacement by acting on it now because arthritis hadn’t set in.

They didn’t stroke him around. 

I had hip arthroscopy and debridement (no calcification) in April due to a torn labrum/cam impingement. The injury happened while training for a race 9 years ago.  It got progressively worse until I had to shut it down and have surgery.  The surgery and postop. were straightforward and relatively painless. The PT was grueling. 9 months later, I’m back running, skiing, working out, but not without discomfort which seems to be getting better as I get this 53-year old body back in shape. The atrophy and compensatory weakness/dis function is no joke at any age. Like you, I sought multiple opinions as well until I found a surgeon who is an endurance athlete. His first question was, “can you run 5 miles” and essentially told me to forego surgery until I couldn’t.  He also told me I’m waisting my time and his if I didn’t commit to PT.  I’m not sure if this helped, but figured a near real-time impression might provide some insight into the process.

RIP Legend. 

I guess wins and losses against rivals aren't valid 'data points'?

Be careful. The truth can do this to a person.

You takin’ a gnome what I’m census?

Will his First Alert work when sacked?

See what happens when the kicker drinks water instead of stretching with the team?

Post season rat poison.

Five-star Texas prospect Kobe Black picked up an Ohio State offer Tuesday, with the offer coming from safeties coach Perry Eliano. 

Interesting the offer came from Eliano and not Walton.

Lowest Common Denominator.

This injury curse can pack its bags already. 

Package deal with Arnold. 

NIL be damned, it is not always about the Benjamins. Talk about taking one some for the team.....

FIFY

How do I answer, “what are you laughing at?”

Rumor has it she’s related to Pole Assassin. 

Apparently they beat it like that big drum.

Or Knowles

So that’s what defense looks like?
