A Tale of Two Hips

hip replacementsAs of 19 April 2021, my left bionic hip has been in continuous service for 4,044 days (12.07 years); my right bionic hip has been in continuous service for 3,085 days (8.45 years).  During recent trips to the orthopedist and a few x-rays later, I got the good news that they are aging gracefully.  Unfortunately, my arthritic knees are not!

3730 Days

Just like last year, better late than never.  My bionic left hip was 3,672 days (10 years) old on 29 March 2019.  Today, on its 3,730th day of service, it has yet to rip, bust, collect dust, roll downhill, or unravel.

3478 Days

Better late than never.  My bionic left hip was 3,278 days (9 years) old on 29 March 2018.  Today, on its 3,478th day of service, it has yet to rip, bust, collect dust, roll downhill, or unravel.
