Synopsis
Get Hip! tells the story of hip replacement, from the first pains of osteoarthritis, through medical decisions, surgery and recovery. It is the story of retired journalist Rob Taylor and 11 other hip surgery patients, men and women, ages 30 to 88. It’s written for patients, so it glosses over some medical complexities. But includes medical studies, tips, exercises and insights from orthopaedic surgeon Wayne E. Moschetti, MD, MS and guidance from Be Fit Physical Therapist David Barlow, DPT, OCS. Get Hip! explains how to plan and prepare for surgery. It talks about managing pain, physical therapy and drugs. It tells how long it took this dozen patients to get back to active lives. And it includes their confirmation that the surgery improved their lives.

About the Author
Rob Taylor is a recovering journalist who can't stop writing. In May, 2018, he got his right hip replaced with metal and plastic parts. Unable to find answers to many of his questions about preparation and recovery, he decided to write a book. The result is, "Get Hip! How to prepare for and Recover from Hip Replacement", co-authored by his skillful surgeon, Wayne Moschetti. Rob wrote from the Wall Street Journal's Washington Bureau for nine years, and for four other newspapers and the occasional magazine. He also directed science and environmental journalism training programs in more than a dozen countries for the non-profit International Center for Journalists. He has worked as a volunteer emergency medical technician, manager of a horse farm, father of two and grandfather of two more. Having moved to New England, he spends free time biking, golfing, hiking the White and Green Mountains and planning jaunts to dreamed-of spots like Torres del Paine National Park, Chile (setting for the GetHip! cover photo). He's happy to be married to his first wife, Toni Egger, and to have Nervous Nell and Hyper Piper (border collies) to lead him back out into the woods.
