[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 85901, member: 47"] Janet, SO has had his shoulder replaced, and both hips - at the rip old age of 41. The doctor could not tell him how long his hips would last because of his age -they thought maybe 12 to 15 years at the time because they usually did these procedures on the elderly. I can tell you one thing for sure. You do not want to wait until your knees blow out on you. SO thought he would wait for the hip surgery and one night his right one just blew out. I have never in my life seen someone scream in such pain - he couldn't stand, he couldn't sit, shoot he couldn't move The day after his surgery, they had him up and walking around a bit. It did hurt, but he said it was almost nothing compaired to when it blew out on him or the pain leading up to the blow out. He spent a couple of weeks in a convalsecent home so he could get his therapy. Marcie [/QUOTE]
