Monday, June 11, I go into surgery for a right hip replacement.
I'm going to ask the doctor for anything he takes out of there, old bone, cartilage, ripped skin, anything coming out of that incision. Heck, when you take your car in for repair, you can ask for the used parts. And then when I get home, I'm going to gin up the best Higley-style prop you ever saw. |

You may want to worry if the doctor starts singing, over and over, "The hip bone's connected to the thigh bone..." Or if he hands a nurse the manual and says, "Here read this while I saw."
Seriously, hope you get well soon.

Best wishes for a full recovery!
My only medical major surgery was in 1948 when I was rushed to the hospital after the family doctor diagnosed peritonitis! My appendix sat in a test tube on a kitchen counter for years after to remind what a close call I had!

Sorry, don't remember when or where my removed appendix ended up no longer on the kitchen shelf, but pretty sure it was gone by the time I started in magic (age 10 thanks to A.C. Gilbert and Santa)!
But that incident of perotinitis and emergency appendix removal later repeatedly popped into my thoughts in the numerous times I read Houdini's biography and his final days!

Ok ... I've had lots of surgery, but this is painful as I have ever experienced.
Not happy. |
