    Don't know where Karen's been lately. I must not have seen this thread back in February.

    Hope you're well, Miss Karen. My husband will probably have both hips replaced before he's 60 (he's 44). We did a little research, too. There's the new technology where they don't replace the whole head of the femur--that's good in case you have to have it again (yikes! a distinct possibility for my hubby), there's more bone left to work with.

    I expect the technology will change quite a bit before he is in need, but this is one thing we've learned that I thought I'd share.

    Everything everyone else said--ditto that! You are inspiring!

    Karen: I don't know you but am inspired in reading about all that you have gone through yourself, and yet, here you are planning to walk to help others with MS. It takes lots of people like you to make this world a better place! Bless you and take care of yourself!
