Loren do you have or had any circulation problems in your legs? I'd have new
knees by now if my orthopedic surgeon had no concerns about blood
circulation in my legs. I've had roommates here at the center who were back
on their feet within a month after they had knee joint replacement surgery.
The oldest guy was 75 and back up on his feet pretty quick thanks to the
physical terrorists who'd come by the room, kidnap him to take him off to
the physical terrorism department and force him to move his leg. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

Luckily, my circulation is fine. I was told my condition was due to severe
arthritis. I grew up on a dairy farm and hard work was a way of life until
I turned 18 and was drafted. No complaints, though...I think it was a
damned good upbringing. It's interesting because my father and older
brother have also had both hips replaced. I'm not sure if all of this hip
replacement stuff is arthritic-based or just a by-product of farm work, or
some combination.

I'm very sorry to hear that you suffer from chronic pain. That's a
situation I wouldn't wish on anyone. Well, almost anyone grin. Seriously,
I do hope that you find relief for your pain and can someday enjoy pain free
living again! I admire your positive outlook...keeping that outlook will
serve you well.
