A day of appointments

A day of having to get up early and then wait? Yes, it's time for the biennial check-up of my hips!

X-rays, prodding, etc., and then a surprise, as the surgeon I had geared myself up to argue with wasn't there. Instead, I was "seen" by his Fellow - who was actually a very nice man... who, all on his own, came up with a theory as to why my hips hurt so often. He suspects that the shoddy operation ("your words, not mine," he said) on my left hip could be causing part of the cobalt ball to shed... so off I went for further routine work (blood this time) to find out. Ultrasound next week... once you are in the system, it's hard to get out.
