    No corn stove either, no koi in a stock tank all winter either. Going to be weird this winter not hearing a blower constantly running or bubbling water in a fish tank.

    Haven't heard you mention your hip pain in a while. Maybe a little less of that daily work with help on that front.

    Tramadol helped me for several years before I had my hip replaced....

    All I can say is that waiting the 5 years I did to have the surgery were wasted. Should have it done when I was 50 not 55. I can do things now that I couldn't do at 50!

    My mother in law is at the point and just can't see the light that she will be walking around pain free by the end of summer.

    Her kids don't even want to talk to her because all she talks about is how bad her hip is and she can't do this that or the other thing. Can you come over and help me ( read that as do it for me)?

    This latest round of medical treatment seems to have brought my son out of perpetual misery. He is actually working out a bit and has been talking about life in general, jobs, girls......seems cheesy but it is enough to bring a grown man come to some serious emotion.

    It's those victories that help guide through the dark days. Couldn't be happier for you.

    There is something exciting about sharing interests with your child.

    BTW, we are saddle hunters....not sure how long it’s been since I mentioned that.

    My wife took the kids to the beach today. He just texted me and said this is the best he has felt in years. Some of the things he has told us now that he is healing have been pretty terrible. The way he felt in his body and mind. Pretty hard to listen to...but he is getting better!

    I can't even imagine going through this, it's gotta be tough. All I can say is be strong for him and hopefully he will follow suit and grow to be strong like his father

    Guy I worked with for years suffered real bad with hip pain, but wouldnt get the surgery due to some mental hang ups. I researched and talked with him about hip replacement. Guy finally did it and his pain levels dropped tremendously. Was great to see.
