No need to be worried about hip surgery, Frank. I know a lot of people at church (this is a retirement community) who have had it and they are all very much better and very thankful for the surgery and the pain relief.

Knee replacement surgery is another thing, though. I know some who have had little or no problem (like my wife) and I know others who say it is terrible and they hurt all the time. This mostly seems to be people who are very over weight and didn't do the rehab exercises the way they were supposed to.
