Finger in the dike, or the dyke?
First one sounds like no fun at all.
Second one could be and might help get your mind off the first...

Just trying to inject a bit of levity.

DO ask a lot of questions on hip replacements. Wife had one installed
some 6 years ago and it was dodgy from day one. It was replaced last

chill down my spine when it squeaks like a rusty door hinge.
She is NOT happy...
