This is a picture of the X-ray taken of our daughter Joan's pelvis and upper femurs sometime last year. She finally assented to a total hip replacement a few days ago.
Things are working very well indeed. I am surprised at how quickly she was up and around. I don't know whether I am supposed to say this or not but she went off the crutches about a week after the operation and was driving a 1 1/2 ton truck around this morning, 12 days post-op. Hmm.
This is a small experiment in the blogosphere. "If you have no interest in what it's like to grow old, what follows is not for you. However, if it's going to happen to you, and the outcome is ultimately going to be negative, then finding a way to make the process as bearable, even as enjoyable as possible, might be worth a little attention."—from John Jerome's On Turning Sixty-Five
