Hip issues.

Yep, Thank you I will send you a PM if I decide to have it replaced. My Father says I'm still too young for replacements at 52 though. The Army destroyed my body.

Sorry to hear that. Yea, 52 is young

But, it beats the alternative.

Sometimes I wonder.........

My wife had both knees replaced this year.
They've got the procedure perfected...able to walk within hours of the replacement.

I've seen it too. Amazing

Wife just had it done on one side four weeks ago. Hour out of surgery they had her climbing stairs in recovery. Two hours later headed home. One week with a walker and another with a cane. She’s back to her usual 2 miles a day walk.

I thought yous gona say she was back to her ole self........

I think my right hip has had it. How do you know when you need a replacement?

when 4 ibuprofen can't fix it then consult a dr.

Doctors? We don't need no stinking doctors.

So, you gonna replace it yerself?

Your right about that. I begged my Wife to fix her feet for decades. It had to get bad enough I guess. I do have to admit technology got much better too

Just to lighten the mood -- the pain meds are pretty good so don't worry there. Biggest problem I have had was returning from Israel in the Tel Aviv airport. They only have mag wands and I was setting it off every time. Their eyes got big when I said I would strip down to my whitey tighties to show them the scar if that would help. All the front line screeners were barely over 20 and it took them 30 minutes to find a older adult (30 ish) team lead who could run the surface scanner. All the while I am thinking I am going to miss my flight!!
