Six years ago arthritis locked up my right hip. At the age of 46, I was overweight, out of shape, my vitals were crazy, cholesterol etc. I spent 4 days in the hospital, I was in pain and I had to learn how to walk again. i got my life back afterwards.

A recent xray showed my left hip heading that way. My Orthopedic Surgeon and I talked about a pre-emptive strike. On Wednesday morning the hip was replaced. Wednesday at supper I was walking, Thursday morning,I was discharged from the hospital. I'm on Tylenol for pain meds and aspirin as a blood thinner. I'm not fast but I am walking.

We often look at medicine to repair things after our quality of life is stolen from us, why not before the degradation?

I can't wait for the next time I go through airport security, 2 titanium hips!
