Hip Replacement Tuesday July 14th

I am having hip replacement surgeryfor my right hip this coming Tuesday. I am told that it was caused by degenerative arthritis and that I have no cartilage remaining in either hip and they both need done.

A cardiologist researcher doctor I saw in Germany two years ago said that Heart Failure can affect the bones, becuase of lack of blood supply, so it seems this might be related as I am only 55.

After the last six years of surgeries to try to keep my heart from stopping, this seems a bit frivolous to me. In my mind, in is just pain, and that does not seem very important to me in the grand scheme of things.

I guess I will try this once and see what happens.
