Hee hee, I thought he looked like his mom! The chin and mouth, especially. OLN showed pics of him as a kid, and boy you knew right away it was him because of the chin and the ears!

I have one ear like Floyd's (the left) does that mean I could be a good rider? SKnot has two ears like that.... and he just learned to ride.

I am so interested (aka worried) about how the hip replacement goes. We see so many total hips, some are great, some just so-so. I'm betting he gets the best surgeon and the best hip hardware. A plastic cup would probably not last long with him. I'd love to know what hardware they are looking at. All titanium? All ceramic? Dunno if stainless would hold up to the huge amount of friction he'll be generating. Friction issues will be more important than weighbearing as far as the engineering is concerned. Plastic would soooooo suck!

If anyone finds an article about what hardware he's planning, please post it to me! Thanks!
