Well, falling seems to run in my family. I've spent the last six hours at the hospital with my dad (who doesn't listen to his family) after he fell off a ladder and snapped the ball off his femur. He's having a hip replacement tomorrow. I'm not thrilled with the choice of docs, however he is in too much pain to transport to another hospital. He fell off the 2nd step of a ladder onto the concrete, managed to get up again (with his two TKRs), only to fall a second time due to the break. He then crawled to the door in order to ring the door bell and get my mother's attention. My mother said his screams could be heard through the neighborhood when they put him in the ambulance. We are going with an unknown, newer OS over one that we know isn't good. Trusting that the Lord is in control.
