I was worried when I got your text buddy, glad you're all fixed up. Tough healing process though I believe.

Welcome back Bruce!
Glad you surgery went well. You are going to be sore a while but you are youthful enough (at least in spirit) to fully recover and be better than you were
Faster stronger......(whole bionic man thesmesong playing)
Whats the retail price on that survey these days? I ask because I saw the list price bill of my kidney removal surgery.

TY sir, sorry to scare U.... I'm feeling pretty good right now :party-smiley-020:Quote:

OUCHIE!!!!!!! Feel like I've been kicked by a mule!!!
Glad you're OK, I'll probably be needing this in a few years, the left hip is shooting craps, I'm trying to hold out another 2-3 years, then go for it, great info, thanks.
Hope you'll be feeling better soon, it's for the best I'm sure, thanks again.
Everyone tells me "dont wait" due to muscle atrophy and eventual back issues due to compensation...Quote:

Get er done...
My left hip went from pretty good to bone on bone in just under one year, I guess due to favoring the right side... I feel like I waited too long BUT if I hadnn't I wouldn't have ended up with this surgeon/technique...
My pain isn't consent, it's sporadic and sometimes gets worse with the weather, when it gets greater than 50% of the time I'll start the process with talking to Doctor, I've talked to my GP and he advised me to wait until I'll need meds for the pain, I'm not there yet, thanks for the info and good luck Bruce.
:thumbsUp: mine is mostly genetic... that and silly HARD training and running a hundred miles of stairs in my wrestling/football days/12mph sprinting on treadmills... :thumbsUp:Quote:
