Default Hip upgrade

Putting up with a failing hip joint for quite a few years, afraid of bad outcomes but I had to do something about it, so I saw an ortho surgeon and set up a surgery date.
cancelled surgery due to bladder cancer issue (resolved) but held things up for a month or so.

75 years old, go in for the operation @ 11:30am, out around 1pm. Dr. said joint was pulverized which explains the terrible pain. lol Home by 5:30pm with a new titanium joint, and walking!! Just some minor pain from muscles around the site. Went in from the front, and it enables the Dr. to get access without a lot of cutting muscle/tendons.


Anyway, 5 hrs in and out, and walking!
