    dear Tim,

    Get a hip that lasts the longest!!!  Sport's hips must be redone every 10 years....

    I was a "guinea pig" up at UCSF in San Francisco in 1986 ..... I was 28 ..... I was told that it was a "lifetime" hip..... no sports, or running on it.... I obeyed and was very careful...... now I am 60 and was just told the life time hip is broken and worn out!  Unfortunately for me I didn't do the other hip after the right one....... I have bad bones..... that is what the orthopedic surgeon said....... and cannot have any of the joint replacement surgeries I need......hips, shoulders, knees, and elbows..... and have a bad heart too!!!  I constantly wonder what I did wrong in life to deserve this kind of pain.........  

    Get to the pool and do water therapy.......AND get that hip done so that you can have a better quality of life...

    I will be praying for you and waiting to hear how things go....Good luck Tim

    Always....Erela
