Thanks Steve,

I'll give a book review :-) when I get back. Should be

interesting.

:

This is my first surgery. I was diagnosed 6 years ago this month

with degenerative hip disease after coming up limp running after a

workout with the weights. At the time, resurfacing was not even an

option here in the US. I opted to wait it out as long as I could,

but it is time to get this thing fixed! When I reflect, I have

really modified my lifetyle to accomodate this situation. Hopefully,

after I recuperate I will be able to hike, bike, lift, and use the

elliptical machine (but I do not want to run anymore - too worried

about the knees and back). I will stay in touch and confirm my

surgery date with you.

PS- say hi to Nash Bridges for me!
