I recently went through a total hip replacement surgery. I really didn't consider myself old enough to have that procedure done. The pictures in the pamplets they gave me confirmed that I should be at least 20 years older. That was depressing. I think those pamplets should all feature people in their 30's doing the exercises. That way, even if I were 20 years older, I would feel good about seeing pictures of young healthy people. I used my color pencils to color all the gray hair and to give hair to the balding men. Then I felt better!! My Dr. says I'm doing great and I will be able to do lots of walking, bike riding and playing of my favorite sport, Volleyball. But my Dr also said the scar is only 4 inches. It's 6 and 1/2?!! I hope he is a better Dr. than he would be a carpenter. My husband is a carpenter among other things. We built our home in 2004-05. We've been here 1 year now. Here is a picture.
