My 68 year old BIL (who lives in Denver) had both of his hips replaced about 6 years ago. His only regret, he didn't do it sooner.
Thanks, Had the other one done back in July. was back on my Mountainbike 5 weeks after surgery. Hoping this one comes out as good.

The fact that my brother didn't die from the heart attack he suffered when moving his car trailer yesterday afternoon. Recognized the pain in his chest and drove himself to the ER to get checked out. More stents may be in his future shortly.

Wow! I'm glad that worked out for the best! Can you share more with us? Does he have a history of heart problems? How far did he have to drive? Did he slip an aspirin under his tongue?

Im happy that my 930 is back on the road after 4 years. It was purchased by my father in 1984, in my possession for about 30 years. My dad passed away about 3 years ago.

I got it back on the road just in time for my son and I to road trip it to Radwood in Austin before thanksgiving. My belief that it was the longest road trip it had ever been on and really felt great to bond with my son in his grandfathers old car. Its been a few months and it sill makes me smile to think about.

Not sure he'd want it all out there so will refrain from telling all. Yes, he's got heart problems, just like me but he got stents while I got a quad bypass. He's fought cancer and is fighting it again. He survived sepsis so figures he's died about 5 times, or should have. He's a tough SOB I'll give him that much. ER was @12 miles away as he lives out in the country amongst the vineyards. He's already on blood thinners so I doubt he went the aspirin route.
They moved him to another hospital last night and he's 'in line' for a procedure soon.

Thanks for your concern as he's the only brother I've got.

Fingers crossed, Scott, that he gets the procedure that he needs quickly and everything goes great!
