My mother, who is 77, had a hip replacement in the spring
and is getting a knee makeover in the fall. You're in the
business so you probably know this, but there is a new
and much less invasive & debilitating knee replacement
procedure being done that spares most of the muscle and
has people up and about much quicker.


Thanks Greg, I know of the specific implants. I've lost a little weight and
trying for more. As good as the implants are getting, i figure keep the
natural stuff as long as possible.

We'll see how I do in Carolina this fall.
