I had a new pad and rotor installed this week
After a couple of "incidents" like this I didn't want the next trip out of the back country to be via helicopter. So had the old hip updated to a newer version.
 Remember to always have your mechanic show you the parts he's replaced  My guy tells me I"m the first one in 20 years that's actually worn one of these modern ones out  Finally it's important that when the work is done that they close the hood and clean up  So in on Wed am, came home yesterday afternoon. I'm walking with a cane and off the meds.. I should be back on the bike in a couple of weeks!

Hurts like nothing you ever want to experience again... New one looks like the old one without the big groove worn out.. HOwever bigger ball so less prone to dislocation..

Um, you're high on morphine, right?
If not, that's even more amazing.

Looks like the Dr followed the dotted line scar from the previous surgery.

Not trying to downplay 9's situation but folks who have experienced both will tell you that total hip surgery pain is markedly less than total knee surgery pain.
Good luck with your recovery and you're smart to avoid the (crazy expensive) ride in a giant ceiling fan. Last edited by pavulon; 07-10-2011 at 06:28 AM.. |

Well since I"ve had both I consider myself an authority... Yes a hip is a walk in the park compared to a total knee.. Virtually no pain with a hip pain is with you a full year with the knee..
