For me it's just a tight muscle, but still, sometimes my body takes sympathy a bit too far.<br /><br />G: Thanks! I know a woman who recovered from a broken hip and she's in her 80's, so at 72 I think he's got a great chance at a full recovery.<br /><br />Jenski: Thanks! Yeah, watching him go through the process isn't something I'm looking forward to. I feel worst for my mother. He'll probably try to shield me from the worst of it, but she'll be right in the thick of things.<br /><br />DarcsFalcon: Thank you! Your prayers are much appreciated. He always puts on a brave face for me, but I know it must be very hard for him to be so disabled. He has always been fiercely independent.<br /><br />Karen: I've always wanted to grow old like my great-auntie Aida. She was going to dance classes twice every week into her 90's, and then one day she dropped dead of a heart attack with no warning. That's totally the way to go.Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-34036653585220760272010-12-22T10:18:59.331-05:002010-12-22T10:18:59.331-05:00That happened to my great-grams.

Fight it every step of the way! <br /><br />He must be in a lot of pain, and I'll say a prayer for his health, and for all of you trying to cope with all these health issues. Never fun, even less so at holiday time. <br /><br />Which, I do hope yours are wonderful, by the way. :)DarcsFalconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757804686134389853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-61585330524167971402010-12-21T18:29:45.495-05:002010-12-21T18:29:45.495-05:00On the bright side, like G mentioned, I've hea...On the bright side, like G mentioned, I've heard the pain disappears after a replacement. I wouldn't want to watch them do it though!

My friend had it a couple of years ago and although she is walking with a lot less pain, she was out of work for about two months.<br /><br />Good luck and sending positive vibes out thataway.G. B.
