Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it.

Laughing is (generally) a good thing. They say laughter is the best medicine, but that's probably not true.

I had to roll into Augusta today, to hit up the VA for a physical. My left leg/hip is about an inch below my right now. I may end up going in for a replacement at some point, but I've not even yet spoken with a surgeon. So, it's just what the doctor said today.

does the inch less cause you trouble?

That'd be where the pain is likely still coming from. That'd be the root cause. It's still degenerating. It must be, as the difference wasn't that much before. I've had it measured by fancy lasers and a whole damned team of experts take a look at the results.

I've since done some reading and it looks like the only realistic solution is a fake hip. They chop off the top of the femur and replace it. They also rip out the socket and replace that.

I ain't doing that. I'd rather deal with the discomfort than risk that fucking kind of surgery. Right now, the leg works. If it stops working, I'll give it some consideration. Until then, I'll just deal with it.

I'll verify all this with said team of experts. This was a VA physical, so I'm gonna go ahead and get a 2nd opinion. It does explain the continued discomfort - but that could be any number of other reasons. I've got a few bucks and insurance still hasn't settled with me. So, I'll make sure to look into it more thoroughly with experts.
