[DeTomaso] Gentlepeople of a certain age and flexibility

[Ron Graves]

Similar situation. Both hip joints went bad age 69. Replaced left joint two
months ago and its like turning bio clock back 20 years to no pain.  Plan
to do right side in november. Good luck with whatever path you take.  I
recommend "anterior incision" if you do joint replacement.
