No geezer stuff … seriously !
Ten years of competitive hockey, fifteen years of martial arts and too many years working for an airline wearing steel toe boots , it takes a toll on you !
I should have went to university and got a desk job instead … lol

I’m getting a full left knee reconstruction next Wednesday after falling off an airplane at work, it’s been a bit more than a year of waiting in the public system but i have a good surgeon.The healthcare system is slow in Quebec.
Many surgeons who are attached to hospitals also operate in the private system so it’s hard to make a comparison …
I hope they install a ceramic knee so i can still pass through the checkpoints at the airport without a search , don’t want to have to explain
to some of the overzealous agents why i set off the metal detector every time … lol

My father had both hips done 30 years ago. He's still walking without a cane at 93. He's quite active, exercises an hour every day. Has not needed any revisions
My surgeon said that the part of the hip that breaks in old people (femur neck) becomes titanium.

That’s the main reason i haven’t raced the SP2 at Tremblant and at the VARAC events , my 911 has been in storage in the race trailer also
since my accident and from what i understand my right knee will be next and keep me out of commission for another year.
Miss you guys , give Nat a nice hug for me !

I had my hip replaced in 2003. It is currently well past its expiry date.
I was 35 and had suffered with a bad hip since age 14. It has been flawless. 20 years into it, I continue to be pain free. I have a fairly active lifestyle. although I find less active as I'm getting older, unrelated to the hip. Only thing my doctor recommended was to avoid activities that could cause trauma so I have never water or snow skiied, skated or played hockey since replacement. Besides that, I do everything else including a bunch of stupid stuff like falling off the ladder this year putting up the xmas lights lol.
St. Joe's Toronto, Dr. Vincent. And, he had done 800 hips by the time he did mine. Mine was the worst he had ever seen!
PM me if you want to discuss.
