Glad to Have a New Hip

Let me add that the hip is doing great. With 800 mg of ibuprofen once before skiing I can ski all day almost pain free, both during and after. My new hip is better than my old, and my old is pretty good. The procedure will be worth it even if I have to pay for it. I doubt I will have to pay for, the insurance company is just trying to assure it's well earned reputation, but the hip is great.
