    Thinking that an unfiltered status report may be of interest to others, not to be confused with wining/complaining as immense improvement/quality of life is the result of having had both sides receive THR. Left side: THR following the first replacement and first revision of the right hip...

    Has been a busy summer so far & things are going well. My friend Cookie is using only a cane and getting around much better and “happier” than she’s been in over 2 years. What a relief. We all have our trials/tribulations/ ups & downs: sure is good to be able to see/be part of this process. To...
