Okay,
Just when I was feeling good about getting my THR in March, the FDA letter to Stryker rears its head....and Stryker products are the only products my OS uses.
You can go to this site to read about it

This is scary stuff, and when I read the letter which has to much medical gargon for me to understand it makes me want to run from my OS and look for one who doesn't use Stryker.
Then again, what this site does not say is how many people have had success stories using Stryker.
I'm thinking rather than running, I should make an appointment with my OS and ask him what he would do, if anything to prevent the problems I read about from happening when he performs my surgery.
It's taken me nearly two years to be comfortable with my decision, and find an OS with a wonderful reputation who supports my decision even though I'll be only 47 at the time of surgery. The idea of getting back out there and going office to office to start my search over is depressing.
Any thoughts are appreciated
