Sadly it clashes with the London Marathon and he's committed to that. Running to raise money for Modellers Anonymous - finding a cure for Stashitis.
Glad to hear everything went smoothly Tim , hope the soreness eases quickly for you and you start to see the benefits , cheers tony
Glad to hear its going well Tim, just make sure you do the exercises to build up the muscles and soft tissue.
My wife fell down the last two steps of our stairs and fractured her hip.
They considered her too young for a replacement (might live long enough for it to wear out)
Instead she had a repair with screws and a plate, been nine months now and still not back to where she was before.

To Langy and Jim…….no comedians please…..who’s line and what film is that from….
That’s a bit strange, but I suppose if the hip joint is in good condition then it doesn’t need replacement. I was about 62 when I first went to the GP with this and was given physio because it “wasn’t bad enough”, but I think that was age related and I was considered too young.
They said the way it was broken meant it was a prime candidate for repair.
The wearing out factor was explained and bone on bone is always the preferable choice.
Repair went well, but my wife was only just getting back to full strength after chemo and surgery.

Watched a great vid ages ago about what happened to all the VCs later in life....... Must try and find it again....... Sad ending for a few of them
Cheers Mike. Bit of a painful miserable day yesterday, but feel much better today. Just time and doing my physio needed now….
I'm just catching up as well Tim. I'm glad it all went well.
Thanks Colin
Hi all. Quick update. Five weeks on and all is great. I am up to 5000 plus steps a day (about two miles in old money), getting stronger, off crutches, just use a stick while out as support if I tire, and am taking no painkillers. I expect to be pretty much normal in a few weeks, which is better than I’ve been in years. I also feel much brighter and more positive about life in general. Some of that is due to the vitamin B12 deficiency picked up in my pre op blood work, but most is due to the elimination of background pain that had been there so long I almost never noticed it. To say it’s been transformational is a real understatement. Just need the sign off from the surgeon so I can drive and to say I’m safe to start bending properly again. If anyone in here needs one just get it done…..it really is worth the effort.
Sounds great Tim, take care
