In Reply to: My hips are worn out posted by Keith Molden on June 26, 2020 at 12:22:16:
Keith, don't stress about it. I had both mine replaced in 2009 and 2010. It was three days in the hospital and you're walking the same or the next day. I was back to work in six weeks and stacking the wagons in three months. I'm recovering now from having the first one redone on 6-8. The ball and liner wore out and the upper cup was loose. The other side is the same and needs repaired too. This time it was only an overnight and with a little help walked to the head a few hours after. Home the next day and they sent a therapist the my home, twice a week for three weeks but that will vary by patient. You'll need a walker or crutches for a few weeks but less and less each day. Therapy isn't bad, just do what they tell you. My mom had a hip done at 92 and did fine. You'll have to restrict motion for the first month. Can't bend past 90 deg. or any twisting motion or crossing your legs. Unless the doc uses the anterior approach, no restrictions, mine doesn't. After a few months you'll forget it was ever done. As to deciding to do it? No question...DO IT. It's what I tell everybody who asks me. You only suffer and it will not get better. Pick a good surgeon, one who does these A LOT, not a few each year. Personally, I wouldn't rely on the VA. I'm not a vet so it's only my opinion but from things I hear I'd be skeptical. I hope this helps. I was apprehensive the first time. The second I said schedule it as soon as you can.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
