After too many years of pounding the Pavement as a field technician, and having the bright idea at age 40 something to take a job installing safes. I aquired a new constant companion and his name is Arthur Itis! Been trying to keep him in check since 2007, but after attacking multiple joints in my 1959 model body, he's finally won a battle! I now have a three day reservation at Hotel IU North Hospital in September to get a new left hip installed! The surgeon that is going to do it is supposed to be one of the best, hence the long wait, and his specialty is the Anterior procedure where he makes a smaller incision on the front side and recovery is supposed to be shorter and overall a little less painful. I have done a little research on this but mostly I have found posts by women. With apologies to the ladies here, I was wondering if any of the guys here have had this procedure? I'm ready to go through with it because the pain in my hip is quite disabling. Walking around the NRA Convention for two days took me three days of constant prescribed Narcotic painkillers to recover from, and it is severely limiting my ability to do ANY kind of activity even simple household chores. So tell me your story if you have one!
