hi all, well I'm home with 2 new hips, when the surgeon got into y hips he found that the right socket had a hole in it where the bone had worn through, the left hip had fused together, so right hip has extensive metal work to mend the hole, so can't weight bear on my right leg, while under he look at my left knee, he said it's not good, so......he's going to replace it in 4 to 6 weeks. Otherwise feel fine doing my exercises.  So I will have 2 new hips and 2 new knees. X
