My sister


I found out yesterday that my sister is going to need a HIP replacement! She is only 44! She said she has no range of motion in it and it is bone on bone. I was very surprised to find this out. I have been having hip problems myself for a couple years. My doctor says it is bursitis. I might ask for an x-ray. I'm supposed to go to a specialist anyhow..

  6. I hope your sisters surgery turns out ok. My best friend from high school had to have this surgery at a very young age. She was not even 30. Her new hip has ALWAYS worked better than her old one.

  7. If Herr Clink hadn't been so mean to me right and left skilleting me, kicking my butt, she'd likely not have needed to new shoulders and a knee replacements.
    Frieda's doing quite well, althought it'll take some time to get herself healed and mobiled again. About 6 months. And she feels a whole lot better for the operations.
    Me too, since I've a reprieve while she's healing and exercising her range of motions back. }:^D
