Hip replacements are really not that big a deal anymore. My then 85 year old grandmother was up and walking the next day. Still doing fine with it 8 years later.
Knees on the other hand are a different story. My mother had both done nearly 2 years ago and recovery was tough although she was also up and walking the next day and home a day or two after that. Apparently once your knees are replaced theres a good chance you'll never be able to kneel again. -Curt Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2013 18:57:36 -0700 From: Craig <diese...@pisquared.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Pi day past, where's Craig?
