Hip replacement

Is it a fad???
I'm in rehab right now from a left hip replacemant done on 11/10/10.
Doing well. Aiming to do the right hip next fall.
It's not a fad!!!
It just demonstrates the median age of ROFF members is 107.
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.
Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy New year.

Joel...did you have a total hip replacement, or a resurfacing?

Two's the magic number. How's the rehab going? What's the toughest
part? They have decent meds for the pain? ;+)

Rehab going good.
It's all tough - you just have to stick with it and before you notice
your walking with the walker and then your walking with just the cane
and then your walking on your own two legs. I'm at the cane stage
right now - not totally but part of the day.
It's been 30 days from surgery. I'm quite satisfied with my progress.
They have lots of good pain killers. Everyones pain tolerance is
different... what's good for me may not be good for someone else.
My goal...I'll be fishing @ the Clave.

Way to go Joel. Recovery is a good place for the "battle mode."
Swimming is good for recovering. IMHO "acceptance" is better AFTER
after one pushes the limits of recovery.

Losing mobility I think is the scariest prospect in aging, maybe worse
than altzhiemers ? Who knows. Anyway I would rather loose an arm than
a leg. Or losing 2 arms and a Johnson, but hey, with mobility and a
proper jaw appliance it might still be possible to fish. :++)) Hang in
there.

**** all that PT nonsense. *What you NEED is a good reason to get up
off your dead ass and DO something. *Here's two:

1. *Tell Margaret that she should BEAT your lazy ass with that cane
until you learn to RUN!

2. *Get on up here as early as possible in the spring and do some
fishing in new waters (deluxe accommodations included, free of
additional surcharge.....ask a Frank near you).

We got painkillers (Salmo, Oncorhynchus, Salvelinus) available before,
during, or after meals (free of additional surcharge.....ask a
Frank....or a Jeff.....near you).

My goal...I'll be fishing @ the Clave.

Clave, ptui!

Come to God's country (not, actually, a statement of legal
ownership.....more a rumination on esthetic sensibilities and adult
beverage advertising hype.....but you already knew that), a mere half
day's drive from home, and enjoy the bounty of the lord's largess (at
no additional surcharge).....you won't be sorry!

I'm gonna make it this spring Wolf.

by the way, i found your book.....and then stuffed it in a box.....and
then moved it half way across the state.....and put it in a storage
locker.....where it now resides patiently awaiting rescue by its
rightful owner. *now, what kind of cold hearltess ******* would allow
a perfectly inoffensive (and quite comely) book, which has never done
anyone the slightest harm, to languish forever in want of its rightful
owner.....just because he was too damned lazy to come and rescue it?

That's pretty good. You find my book - pack it away in storage - and,
some how, it's my fault I don't have it in my hands. I've always known
there was a small crack in your logic!! :-)

hm.....

nobody *I* know, i'm quite sure.
