bojack34 2 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Just wanted to let everyone know that Ranger 12 is going under the knife in the morning to have hip replacement surgery. Please keep him in your prayers and hopefully the old fart will come through it okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUesquire 1 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Well, he sure kept quiet about that. Ranger, we're part of your extended family. We need to know these things so we can make fun....uh, I mean pray for you. Prayers sent. And nothing like a little hip surgery will keep a Ranger down. Here's to a speedy recovery. Thanks for letting us know bojack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger12 46 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Thanks guys. Yep, Since my back surgeries are so well documented, I was going to leave this off the board for at least until I was already back home. Yet little bro let the cat of the bag, so I will have to beat him with one of my crutched now. I'll be a little lenient on how hard I hit him since he was just trying to be a good brother.

Are we to assume by your presence here that you are now equipped with a plastic hip?? Laptop in the Hospital? How did the surgery go?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surgery went well and of course I have my laptop...don't leave home without it. I actually have an all metal hip. He decided to go metal on metal (titanium) because of my age. Older people usually get some type of composite material/metal combination because they are less likely to be as active and not put it through much abuse. Plus their ages make it less likely they will be around long enough for when it wears out and they need to replace it again. However, because I am only in my 30s, he is using titanium because it can withstand more abuse and it lasts longer. I still have to be careful and I can't be as active as I used to be, but the all metal parts get me closer to being somewhat active, whereas composite materials would not.

Going through all those airport security gates may set off all those bells & whistles. Here's to a speedy recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
