I was thinking the other day how knee/hip replace surgeries have become epidemic.
Growing up, I never heard of such.
But, I don’t recall any family members/friends limping, or, complaining of sore knees or hips.
We’re trying to keep ours in good shape, to hopefully avoid said p surgeries.
I tried putting it off as long as I could, but it was getting harder and harder negotiating the ridges during hunting season, climbing/descending stairs and other activities where I finally had to have it checked out. VA covered it all, but and I’m back out again, just a little slower.
I just had a hip replacement 2 months ago. Thats an easy one. Almost fun by comparison of others.
