Hiya,

I, thankfully, have no hip problems. I just thought I'd go ahead and give
you the website that is one of the most oft-quoted source for hip replcement
info around here http://members.tripod.com/totallyhip1/index1.htm

That depends on the surgeon and the procedure. I spent a week in
hospital with each hip. I was 27 and 29 when I had each hip done.

Absolutely not.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
