Re: Ok, but how long does resurfacing last with AVN?

Hi,

And do a cruise of Totallyhip list and one will see plenty to suggest that

if one is of the worrying nature one has plenty to worry about with a THR as

well............. I just figured that at some stage I just had to call it

quits and accept that one has something that can potentially 'go

wrong'.............

In reality our entire body is one very dicy bit of equipment and few of us

actually spend any time fretting about the potential heart attack, finding

we have cancer, having a car accident etc..........which in reality possibly

has as much chance of happening, if not more in the case of cars, as our

hips failing...........

Glad to hear you are getting back the ROM ............ this is one of my

bugbears too......... a hard and painful task I find............
