Arrow Julian Has a Brand New Hip

And, I'm posting this here in the HOBBIES section, because, after 14 fairly major surgeries, Hospital Stays must rank highly in my personal pastimes - ergo . . . . my newest hobby!

Anyway: I Have a Brand New Right Hip



And the darn thing hurts like hell

Glad to hear you're on the mend Julian.

My mom got two at 71 and promptly went out and learned to downhill ski

Congrats on the new hobby Julian!
As it is quite a dangerous pastime, please don't do it too often...
Let Lane and your kids spoil you!

Remember there is much less wear on the hips when listening to digital.
