On the basis we couldn’t find enough owners interested to chip in to buy Cor Dees Laverda Collection. No!

My reply was meant to be sarcastic, knowing that in CH they found 100 billion in a weekend to save a bank and we are struggling to find peanuts....On the basis we couldn’t find enough owners interested to chip in to buy Cor Dees Laverda Collection. No!

Well it's always a lot easier if you don't have to ask anyone's permission..

I didn't think Europeans liked peanuts.

How was your recovery from the procedure? Long or short, painful therapy or easy recovery? I ask because it may be in my future depending on results of a recent MRI……

My recovery was very rapid and I actually noticed significant improvement on a daily basis. The physio had me walking on day 2, negotiating stairs on the 4th day and graduating to a single crutch after the first week. This was way beyond my expectations. I have been walking unaided 1-2 Kms per day during the 5th and 6th week. My first ride was yesterday( exactly 6 weeks) and far more comfortable than the previous ride with my very damaged hip when fatigue and aching was proportional to the length of the ride.

That agrees with what a friend told me about his recovery: early and aggressive physical therapy gave a rapid and successful outcome. He did say that it was painful at first, we share an aversion to opioids so he just took NSAIDS to take the edge off.
Nothing is perfect.
NSAIDS are nephrotoxic and all the more so in elderly people. I saw quite a few people with renal insufficiency linked to chronic use. A 5 day prescription at half the doses we used to prescribe is now considered the norm.
Opoids are far less harmful.
Very early physio is indispensable..
I also regularly took charge of patients to reduce dislocated hip prosthesis due to not being careful of their movements and insufficient muscle. An old motorcycle racing friend of mine gave up riding completely after exploding his femur on a knee prosthesis after slipping in his shower. 2 years to vaguely fix that mess.
Be careful, nothing replaces being young and healthy.
