Superior Results for Hip and Knee Surgery
Our Caring, Patient-Centered Practice
My practice combines world-class orthopaedic care in a warm and welcoming environment where every patient is treated with respect, the way I would want my family to be cared for. From the first phone call, you will find my team 100 percent engaged in addressing your needs.
I care for people in their 80s and 90s who refuse to relinquish their independence and opt for surgery to regain an active lifestyle. I also treat patients in their 20s and 30s who desire an improved quality of life and want to feel “normal” again.
Safely Going Home the Day of Surgery
My emphasis on preempting and preventing pain after surgery has been a game changer. Patients walk the day of surgery and the vast majority of my patients go straight home the afternoon of their hip or knee replacement surgery. This requires coordinated pre-operative planning and detailed communication between my staff and the patient.

A Letter to Cousins
One family’s path to finding common ground
BY SUSAN ROSSER
The following is a letter I sent to my children and their cousins. Like so many families, the group has become divided over the past few years by differing viewpoints and opinions. I sent this letter to them in the hopes that, eventually, they would be able to reconcile.
To the cousins,
When your Uncle Richard first started in the publishing business, I decided to step back from sharing anything political online. The man who sold us our first magazine advised staying out of politics, which was good advice. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sometimes tempted to post my views, but I always hold back. Over time, I’ve found that this approach has given me peace.
I understand there are significant differences in beliefs within this group, and it is hard not to feel the weight of that. When individuals feel hurt by the ideas and beliefs of others, it is difficult or even impossible to maintain connections across political lines. For some of you, rebuilding a relationship may seem incomprehensible. However, I still hold onto the hope that this won’t be the case forever.
One thing that could help, a super-tiny first step, is if everyone avoided sharing political opinions on social media. If you feel like hashing these things out, I encourage you to have those conversations in person or over the phone. (I wouldn’t use text or email — that can go downhill fast.)
I know there are deep wounds, and some relationships have grown strained or even disappeared.
But here’s what I know in my heart: we are bound together by connections so strong they defy words. When I look at each of you, I see my mother’s unusual brand of humor and my parent’s love of laughter, family and home. That’s a gift we all share. It’s part of your grandparents’ legacy, something I wish you could keep sharing with one another.
I know that my relationship with my sister Debbie became strained leading up to the 2020 election. We never stopped speaking entirely, but I can’t deny that things were not great between us. Then, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and my big sister began calling me constantly. She loved me, and I loved her beyond measure. I might be one of the few women who can say they are grateful for a breast cancer diagnosis because it brought us back together in the nick of time. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.*
I realize this small suggestion won’t magically bridge the divide. And yes, it might seem pointless since not sharing an opinion doesn’t mean that opinion has changed. But maybe it could be a start — a small way to open a space for healing, however long that might take. Plus, it’s a lot cheaper than therapy.
With all my love for each and every single one of you, Auntie Susan (or Mom if that’s appropriate)
*The
author’s sister Debbie unexpectedly passed away in January of 2020.

It’s All About the Process
BY CRAIG HALEY
Success is often celebrated at the finish line, but the real magic happens in the journey. Whether it’s mastering a skill, achieving a personal goal, or reaching a professional milestone, it’s the process — the daily grind, the small victories, and the unwavering commitment — that makes it all possible. This truth was on full display at our Black Belt Spectacular, where 26 individuals earned their next degrees in martial arts. It was a moment of achievement for them and, for me personally, a significant milestone as I was promoted to Eighth Degree Black Belt.
But as I reflected on the event, it wasn’t just the accomplishments that stood out — it was the dedication to the process that brought everyone to this point.
The day was particularly special to me because many of our students attended the event, and witnessed my promotion. I hope this experience inspires them to remain committed to their paths. The best way to lead is by example. Therefore, if I train daily, maintain my fitness, and continue to learn and grow, I will encourage my students to do the same.
Why do some people continue on this path while others step away? The answer lies in embracing the process itself.
Right now, 35% of our First Degree Black Belts go on to Second Degree. Only 10% of our First Degrees make it to Third Degree.
Why is that? They are all capable. The people who love the process of what they are doing will stay longer and reap the rewards. They are focused on the process of training, doing the work, etc. They certainly love the rewards of success; however, they focus far more on the process that leads to the goal.
In fact, studies show that people are happier when they are working towards a goal than they are after achieving it. We all love having something to look forward to.
Kobe Bryant, the late NBA Hall of Famer, was known for his intense competitiveness and relentless drive to win. His success was rooted in an unwavering commitment to the process rather than just the end results. His training routine included waking up between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. for strength and cardio workouts before basketball practice. According to his trainer, Tim Grover, Kobe rarely missed a session, only taking breaks for injury or illness. This dedication led to five NBA championships and his Hall of Fame induction.
Similarly, Rafael Nadal, considered one of the greatest tennis players, focuses on the process through his routines. His serving rituals and structured pre-match warm-ups allow him to stay present in the moment. Each exercise is performed with intense focus, ensuring he is fully prepared for matches. Nadal’s commitment to the process has resulted in 22 Grand Slam titles and a record 14 French Open victories.
In “The Pressure Principle,” Dave Aldred emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process rather than the outcome to perform well under pressure. He notes that the tension between process and outcome increases with the significance of potential failure. As such, performers must learn to commit to the process without letting thoughts about the outcome interfere with their focus.
To illustrate this, consider the story of a golfer coached by Lanny Bassham, author of “Winning with the Mind.” This golfer hadn’t won in a while, and Bassham advised him to disregard thoughts of winning. During a tournament at Torrey Pines, he remained committed to his process. After sinking the final putt, he was so engrossed in his routine he didn’t realize he had won until his wife jumped into his arms. “Did I win?” he asked in surprise.
“Yep, you won!” she replied Y

It’s a New Year – ish
BY DAWNE RICHARDS
Recently, I drove to West Palm Beach for a new client. It seemed far-ish (I know, you’re cringing at the hyphen; whatever) away.
Then I remembered, oh so clearly, some of my early days in South Florida (as an adult; my early days in Florida started when I was a year old, but that’s a story for another day). At the time, I lived in PalmAire (well, The Gardens at Palm-Aire; close enough).
Anyway. There I was, on the Turnpike, and the memories came flooding back.
I was a “Rising Senior” at FAU. (I hate that term, “Rising Senior.” Another rant for another day.)
In addition to studying at FAU full-time, I had a full-time job in — you guessed it — West Palm Beach. Full-time, as in Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm, and occasional weekends.
Also: I had a car with no air conditioning. Oh, it was fabulous! Also: In the infinite wisdom of a 20-something, I had a dog. But not just any dog. No, I had an absolutely gorgeous, smart, tenacious, irrepressible, red-and-white Husky puppy name China. Her full name was China’s Autumn Valentine.
I can explain. “China” for her china-blue eyes. “Autumn” for her copper-colored fur. “Valentine” because that was either her birthday or her gotcha day, who can remember? But I’m pretty sure it was her birthday.
Anyway, China was a nightmare. For the blissfully ignorant, Siberian Huskies are (a) escape artists, (b) fast and (c) often incredibly stupid.
Don’t start with me! Dumb but beautiful summed up China. So, between the full-time job and full-time school, guess who got stuck with China? Dingdingdingdingding! My mother. Because, of course, she did. And that, too, is a story for another day.
Ahem. The Gardens at Palm-Aire was a considerable step up from
the first place I rented here, which was a bedroom/bathroom off the main house of a lovely senior citizen in Davie, Mrs. Stroud. No kitchen, but my roommate and I had a hibachi outside the back door. It was paradise — ish.
The apartment (if you can call it that) also came with a mysterious and glamorous downstairs neighbor, Pat, who was a 411 operator (remember them?). She was beautiful, and smart, and had what back then seemed like a pretty cool job.
Where was I???
You don’t know? Why are you even still reading this???
Back to the point of this column. So there I was, driving to West Palm Beach and remembering that really, it’s not far at all. It’s so close, in fact, that I drove it five days a week — in a car with no air, in case you forgot — and thought nothing of it.
I’ve been driving the tri-county area (another absurd phrase that reminds me how South Florida is desperate to be “New York South,” but that’s also a story for another day) for a long time, and I know just about every nook and cranny.
How is this related to a new year? It’s not, but that’s never stopped me before.
Have a fabulous, air-conditioned 2025! Y

CREATIVELY COOKING
A Winning Gumbo
BY MRS. KOSSENFLOFFER
We don’t get many chilly days in Florida, so when we do, I like to take advantage of the cool weather to make something warm and comforting. Gumbo is one of those dishes that lends itself to creativity and personal preference. I like to stick with shrimp and andouille for a classic flavor, but chicken is a popular addition if you want to make it heartier. And if okra isn’t your thing, don’t worry—you can easily leave it out without sacrificing the dish’s soul-warming appeal.
Try Mrs. Kossenfloffer’s gumbo at the Soroptimist Chili and Gumbo Cook-off on January 25. See page 24 for details.
Gumbo
Yield: about 6 servings
Ingredients
1 pound medium shrimp in the shell, peeled and deveined, shells reserved
Salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
6 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons olive oil
1½ cups onion, diced
1 cup bell pepper (any color), diced
½ cup celery, diced
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Preparation
Peel and devein the shrimp, reserving the shells for broth. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then cover and refrigerate. Prepare the shrimp broth (recipe below). Feel free to use store bought chicken stock instead.
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne (or more)
1 cup diced ripe tomato, fresh or canned
12 ounces smoked andouille sausage, sliced ¼-inch thick
6 cups shrimp stock or chicken stock
2 cups chopped okra (optional)
2 tablespoons beurre manié (see note)
½ cup chopped scallions for garnish
stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes, until the flour is well browned.
Add tomato paste, thyme, paprika, cayenne, and garlic, cooking for 1 minute. Stir in diced tomatoes and reserved sausage, seasoning with salt and pepper. Pour in the shrimp stock (or chicken stock), scraping the pot to release the brown bits at the bottom. Simmer for about 25 minutes until thickened. (This gumbo base can be prepared several hours ahead; bring it back to a simmer before continuing.)
In a large Dutch oven, sauté the sausage until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside. For the gumbo base, heat the olive oil in the same pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery, stirring frequently, and sauté until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Continue cooking,
Add the okra, if using, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes more until the shrimp are cooked. Serve immediately, garnished with scallions, alongside rice or cornbread.
SHRIMP STOCK: Combine shrimp shells, 1 quartered onion, 2 ribs chopped celery, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, salt, 3 smashed garlic cloves, 2 sprigs fresh thyme, and a bay leaf in a medium pot. Cover with water (about 8 cups), boil, then simmer for 30 minutes. Strain through a sieve.
NOTE: Okra naturally thickens gumbo. If you choose to omit it, you can use a beurre manié (a mixture of equal parts softened butter and flour) as a substitute thickener. Add the beurre manié to the gumbo 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring well after each addition, until the desired thickness is reached. Y

The Bronx comes to Broward
What’Sub is Serving up Solid Sandwiches in Deerfield Beach
As soon as I discovered What’Sub offers a sandwich named for Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, I was sold. For those unfamiliar, Arthur Avenue is renowned for its Italian bakeries, restaurants, and markets.
The first question they ask as you approach is, “seeds or no seeds.” Naturally, the staff are inquiring as to whether or not you want sesame seeds on your bread. A very personal choice.
Back to the sandwich. The Arthur Avenue includes prosciutto di Parma, fresh burrata with sundried peppers, and arugula served on focaccia bread.
And it was the size of my head.
They certainly did not skimp on the prosciutto, which is sliced super thin. The burrata was dreamy and the arugula brings a lovely fresh peppery-ness. But the sundried peppers put the sandwich over the top — they packed just the right amount of acidity to elevate all the flavors.
When I arrived home with the sandwiches, my son quickly claimed the Buto, a perfectly fried chicken cutlet with pink sauce and fresh mozzarella served on Italian bread. The sandwich comes with extra pink sauce on the side for dipping. I was tempted to drink it while no one was looking, but I refrained. In a delightful nod to the classics, we indulged in a mouthwatering sausage and pepper sub that hit the spot. The blend of sweet Italian sausage combined with the perfect amount of sauteed bell peppers made each bite utterly delicious. WhatSub is located at 1330 S Federal Highway in Deerfield Beach. For more information, call 954-596-5330 or visit whatsubdelifl.com. Y
