I'm off tomorrow to get a new hip. Which shows at least that the Oncologist seems to think I'll live long enough to make it worthwhile. :-)

    nothing to it stomps. They will have you up the next day ambulating with a walker. The entire process is like 3 minutes of IL-2. In a couple weeks you will look back and be amazed at how easy it was. Good for you!

    Hip, hip, hooray!

    All the best with the new joint.  Replacement hips are cool -- did you know they've been doing that surgery for 100+ years?  Lots of changes and advancements. 

    Please keep us posted wih a full report, including, does the latest gizmo that they're giving out to help you put on your socks actually work?

    Hi folks!

    I think I'll wait a couple of weeks before I compare it to IL2 Fox, mate. But I'm home and healthy with a pain in the butt.  Physical Therapy starts tomorrow. I already knew how to use a walker.

    Thank you all for your good wishes. See chaps, it works!

    No

    No skydiving, bungie jumping, water skiing or any of that stuff until PT is over.

    Gizmo

    "Please keep us posted wih a full report, including, does the latest gizmo that they're giving out to help you put on your socks actually work? "

    Yes it is a thing of simplicity and wonder. Almost as good as my wife's Christmas cake that she pulled from God-knows-where. Made in November, eaten in June. What does she put in that thing?

    Hey Stomps!

    Hip Hip Hooray was the first thing that came to mind to write you and I see I wasn't the first!!!  Anyway, so happy to hear its been done, you are on recup and as you say, the fact that your doctor had you have this surgery must sure mean he intends to have you around for awhile!  Great news to learn!
