I would think they could just give you one of those hip replacements
Oh, they can do that. I just won't let them. There's only a small chance that it helps.
There's also one other surgery they can do - where they go back in and take out the hardware, filling the holes with some sort of cement. That too only has a small chance of helping.
In an ideal world, I'd try the latter and then the former if it didn't work. But, I'm a man of math... Those surgeries have similar odds of making things worse than they are now.
So, fuck that... I declined their offer to open me back up and hack away at me some more. No... No... Unless it's an emergency, I'm done getting my femur operated on. The recovery fucking sucks donkey balls - worse than any pain you can imagine. I'm not fucking going through PT again.
i would not want to get cut up either
Amusingly, my 'net cut out. There's still storm damage the phone company hasn't fixed. So, I have a satellite internet provider swinging out on Monday. We'll see how well that works. It wasn't really adequate the last time I tried.
