That’s what I got about 10 years ago - I gave up running and started walking and using exercycles in order to reduce impact and give it a better chance to “outlive” me...

That's what I got 5 years ago - I continue to run, cycle, and lift weights. My surgeon said to treat the new hip no
differently than the healthy one.

He whimsically said that if it fails after 20 years (doubtful,) he would just have to replace the ball and cap portion.

It is performing at roughly 98% of the original.
