They are good in Norwich, it was where the operation was originally pioneered in England and they still make a speciality of it. They also keep careful records and discuss medical news events, which is why they picked up on the metal-on-metal implant problems early. The "knowing" you describe is it exactly. But it's fine, I don't mind being reminded how much better it is now than it used to be! Glad your other hip is good, I'm disappointed about mine starting to go so soon, but pretty resigned.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-27065160574437463822011-04-15T21:36:20.547+01:002011-04-15T21:36:20.547+01:00I will be visiting my hip doctor the 25th as he wa...I will be visiting my hip doctor the 25th as he wants to see me annually. No significant problems although I do wonder about what type of replacement I have. I have a "knowing" that it is there that is kinda like an ache but not really. So far my left looks good.luckyzmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176703683321469118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-26042444733029105972011-04-15T09:49:24.079+01:002011-04-15T09:49:24.079+01:00*short.

I can sometimes feel the scar and occasionally I know there's a difference in my hip (more the new edge of the socket, a slight soreness that doesn't bother me) but you'd think a whacking spike in my thigh would cause some sensation.<br /><br />I am sorry for my poor removed hip, and rather enjoy having all these different materials inside and part of me.<br /><br />If I were to have cataracts (a detached retina would be an emergency and so worrying that I'd just be grateful for my sight to be saved), I'd ask if it were possible to have the sight I have with a lens, only better - sort sight in my left eye, long sight in my right. That would be perfect, as my brain already expects it.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-4391606857780635472011-04-15T08:05:45.667+01:002011-04-15T08:05:45.667+01:00I must admit I'd always assumed I would have t...I must admit I'd always assumed I would have thought of a replacement part as being an alien intruder, but I now realise that I never think of the replacement lens in my left eye at all.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-54180653844007459782011-04-14T19:41:12.633+01:002011-04-14T19:41:12.633+01:00Your hips look Fine to me....Your hips look Fine to me....Rate My Sausagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05447070967547801383noreply@blogger.com
