And to Noah, Dave. <br /><br />My other hip is in the early stages of arthritis, I reckon I will need it replaced in 3-5 years. I've got unusually shallow sockets, the right one more than the left, that's the reason it's happened at this age. Just one of those things. <br /><br />There will still be a two-pronged drive, Simon.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-24499096803211857312011-08-18T18:17:34.991+01:002011-08-18T18:17:34.991+01:00Are you keeping the fork in the drive Z?Are you keeping the fork in the drive Z?Eddie 2-Soxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14663438334446202114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-11081497787010440702011-08-18T17:47:17.121+01:002011-08-18T17:47:17.121+01:00Bated breath here.

I'd been very reluctant to make the decision to have the operation, I'd dreaded it - but once the decision was made (my hip was really giving me a lot of trouble and it was getting worse quickly) I turned my attitude round and wanted to feel involved in it. It was interesting, didn't take long, I was completely relaxed and I'd choose that way again.<br /><br />I agree, Dave, I should have taken more - all the work done this summer has been so bitty I haven't taken pictures. I'll do some later. <br /><br />The drive will still be tarmac, just as it is now only wider round the curved parts, and then gravel by the house. You and the Small Bear are welcome any time.<br /><br />It takes a lot to curb the Sage's enthusiasm.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-14233330766641546102011-08-18T08:49:41.630+01:002011-08-18T08:49:41.630+01:00If the job's taking a long time, I'm surpr...If the job's taking a long time, I'm surprised Rog hasn't make some comment about kerb crawling.
