My fire show on New Year’s Eve in Sacramento, CA

I’ve had 2 total hip replacements, both due to osteoarthritis (wear and tear). The first was the left hip, on December 4 2015. I was 50 at the time. Then, the right hip on April 25 2017. Both operations were performed by Dr. Gordon Lundy at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, CA.

History

I first started having pain in my left hip around 2011 or so. This was the first time that rest did not really help. I tried the usual alternative approaches. I never guessed that it was ordinary arthritis, and I didn’t realize how easy and routine joint replacements have become.
