Yesterday
Yesterday was a busy day – revamped my entire site and described the events leading up to the total replacement of my right hip.
Today
Today I will take you through the hip operation, the complications and the events subsequent.
I will then start to highlight how my experience with a Smith & Nephew Cobalt Chrome total hip replacement is remarkably similar to those who have had the worldwide problem with the DePuy hip replacements.
There is a huge amount of information available and my intention is to start to bring it all together in one easy location.
See you soon,

This seriously answered my challenge, thank you!
This is extremely interesting, You are a very skilled blogger. I have joined your rss feed and look forward to looking for much more of your terrific post. Also, I’ve shared your web site in my social networks!
Thank you – it is driven out of my own need to know! When I was a little boy I was nick-named “Mr Why”!
I am about to have a revision of my right hip done 3 years ago – a total metal on metal Birmingham Spectron from Smith & Nephew.
This time I will be Mr Conservative and it will be ceramic on ceramic also from Smith & Nephew – I think a lot of my issues stem from the surgeon I had & metal sensitivity – I have quite a big auto-immune issue anyway, just to complicate it further!
Then the left hip will get its first replacement later in the year – going to be a fun second half of the year – 3 hip replacements in 3 years!
