What's this?

Went for 6 week check and was doing so well he said "go for it"

He said he wasn't worried about me hurting hip cycling..... just worried that some idiot would hit me and break new hip. No more bone to work with if I break that......sigh. I had so much bone deterioration at head of femur from failing Birmingham Hip Reline that they went about 3 inches further into femur than customary.

Just tested my new hip with an 11 mile bike ride! Doc finally said I could -- DonHo-kieHi 04/20/2019 10:53AM

Did you lube the zerk fitting first? Surely the doc installed one:) ** -- AZHokie59 04/20/2019 2:24PM

I thought that was for scotch...and it was well lubricated ** -- DonHo-kieHi 04/20/2019 8:25PM

Close to 7 weeks. Stayed out of work two weeks (drove wife AND me crazy). -- DonHo-kieHi 04/20/2019 12:56PM

But you said you couldn't ride for months? What changed? -- `lag 04/20/2019 11:33AM
