Dr.G.R.B is the Superintendent of a Missionary Hospital in Shimla. He leads medical teams to out reach clinics in remote villages in the difficult snow filled mountain terrain, sometimes having to carry heavy supplies on the shoulder for hours together. He opted to have Birmingham Hip Resurfacing when he developed arthritis of his right hip. He feels his pursuits to take modern medical care to remote villages have become more intense after the Birmingham Hip Resurface(BHR) Surgery.







I continue to be excited and thankful about my progress. At the end of week 4, I was hiking at the edge of the wilderness again and doing stream crossings in the crystal clean mountain water. (photo attached) During the 6th week, my hiking time was up to 8 hours on relatively easy terrain along the headwaters of the Dearborn river. My quads and hamstrings are building strength daily and the ROM is almost back to normal. I still am challenged by a full squat but I keep working on it each day using props for support.
