So I go to my hip Dr. today--many of you know I had my left hip replaced a year ago.. It's great. The x-ray shows that my right one if failing rapidly, so I have have it replaced within 5 months. What the hell is this--who did I p-ss off? Will I ever be able to use this expensive arm I'm making? Will I become Robo-Phil?  Well, at least I can laugh about it.

Best wishes on your doctor visit. Just be glad it's the hip doctor looking to replace a body part, rather than your shrink!

Not your other one Phil. Sorry to hear about this. Well, the positive thing is, at least you will be able to use your rig without any major pain, if you you did not do the operation. Think about it. Steadicam work at times also involves using your hips.

I appreciate comments. It has to be done--I've been in increasing pain for 10 months. Can't even put my vest on--it should all be better after the operation.

In that case, best of luck in getting it scheduled soon - and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Thanks to all. I go into that room with one the best hip doctors on the planet. The hospital here in Bellingham Washington attracts some of the best surgeons in the country and is considered the place to go for heart and replaement issues. I'm in good hands.
