CONGRATS and WELCOME to the club!!! Had mine done 3/7. Wish I had done it sooner. Was walking without a walker in 2 days. My PT wanted to kill me when she caught me. You're gonna love it!!

Hey, that pic's cool! I gotta get one of those.☺

Great to hear Ken. Now just remember to watch it getting out of the sand.

👍👌

    Congrats. I have titanium shoulder and knee. Have fun at the metal detectors!

    My joints are multi-material - I have plastic in my shoulder along with the titanium.

    Congrats, and wishing you the best with your rehab and a better quality of life with the new hip!

    DC300 Actually, it looks like the equivalent of titanium pot-metal. Intentionally porous so that the bone can send in little bone-lets and meld together with it.

    And, yeh, there's some plastic parts too, mainly the socket.

        kenner hmmm I could send them some drivers to melt down, maybe we could have a group donation and discount program 😜. That's pretty cool out bones bond into it

          You will put weight on it and be more comfortable walking than you have been in years. Just don't take up running.

            braveheart Yeh, that's what the doc said. Guess I'll never make that first slam-dunk, but I'll muddle through somehow.☺
