The Ultimate Bionic Man
On October 13, 2008, my left hip joint was replaced with a plastic and titanium implant. I spent seven days in the hospital and 2 weeks in a rehabilitation center. With outpatient physical therapy twice a week. I am healing slowly and steadily. Since I had great success six years ago recovering from a right hip joint replacement, I am expecting the same results this time.
Quote of the Month
“ I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad and ill-nourished. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Second Inaugural Address
