My mom had a hip replaced at age 87 and I wish she had had it done earlier. It went very well and she enjoyed walking again without pain.

I wish you the best of luck and a quick recovery.

Good luck, Russ. I'm recovering myself from an emergency appendectomy just 3 weeks ago. Surgery sucks, but on the positive side, my wife has had both of her hips replaced. She says it's about the easiest one of the bunch for pain. I've got to give her that since she's had 9 replacement surgeries altogether. Hopefully yours goes as well as hers have.

Good luck, sir. May your new hip facilitate embarrassing wedding dancing that your old hip wisely disallowed. :thumbsup:

I guess you're already recovering by now. Hope it went well and that you're up and doing the watusi again soon.
