Since my last update, I have continued to experience some ups and down’s on my journey of recovery from bi-lateral total hip replacement. The weather today was cold, windy and wet and my legs hurt with most every movement. Still I managed to walk around and got in nearly 5,000 steps but it was a …
After more than 10 years of trying every alternative under the sun, I finally made the decision to have my hips replaced. I found an amazing surgeon right here in my home town of Wasilla with Orthopedic Physicians Alaska (OPA) and Dr. Tucker Drury. My first hip was replaced in October of 2020 and the …
It’s been awhile since I’ve added a post and I apologize if you’ve been wondering what’s happening. Life has been busy and full and I have been doing incredibly well. I no longer have any chronic pain and I continue to grow stronger and healthier every day. That’s not to say I have no pain …
North of Palmer, Alaska and two miles up Soapstone Road, I found this amazing healing center. The past two weeks I have been so much more comfortable and optimistic than I have felt in months.

I’ve continued my own research and discovered a number of clinical trials now …
For the last two months life has taken a crazy turn. In mid August my daughter called in tears. Her husband Michael was sick and getting worse. He’d not felt well for months but this was reaching the point where she was watching him die and it terrified her. She’d been so strong and optimistic up …
On Tuesday, August 4th, 2015 I received an unexpected phone call from Dr. Peterson at the Algone Pain Center. He asked me to do him a favor and research a product and treatment known as Bio D Restore. What I discovered has led me on an unexpected and exciting journey. The use of stem cells …
Today I met Dr. Peterson at the Algone Pain Relief Center and he said after looking at my MRI, he would like to order x-rays to see if I have developed a bone spur or some other condition that is causing this set back. He also recommended I consider a PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment …
After several months with a downward trend, I finally decided it was time to try something different.
