I'm feeling like a rockstar, and without AHI, I don't know where I'd be right now

"My hip pain initially started in my left hip, and it was hurting for so long that it also started to affect my right hip. I decided to visit an orthopedic institute nearby in New York and they recommended that I go to the American Hip Institute in Chicago. They said there were only 3 surgeons in the entire country that could help me with my hips. I ended up flying to Chicago to see the American Hip Institute surgeons and it was honestly an honor to meet them. When I was in the office, the clinic team went over what was going on with my hips in a way that ensured I understood the medical lingo. At the visit, the team told me I'd need a very specialized hip surgery on the left side because of all the prolonged damage. I then had the procedure done and was able to fly home a day and a half after the surgery!

After having the procedure done, I'm now able to do things I couldn't before, including simple activities like walking around. I'm also a single mom of two boys and he's given me a quality of life back where I can smile and enjoy life! The American Hip Institute is truly amazing, and they not only saved my life but also the lives of my children. I couldn't ask for a better physician and I wish he was here in New York. I'm feeling like a rockstar, and without him I don't know where I'd be right now."
