Arthritis is a ***** !

Good luck with the surgeries. My Dad had his replaced about 20 years ago, and he was very happy with it. They've come a long way since then, so you should really be good.
I've been having trouble with my hands. Dr. sent me in for x-rays. Arthur in both hands, but mostly in the right. 45 years of cutting meat for a living is taking it's toll. I tell everyone that getting old is not for the weak. You gotta be tough to get old!! 62 in a few months.
