Isn't OA odd ... ?
Sat, 14 Jan 2006 22:01:57 GMT
Almost eight weeks after my op. on my left hip, and my left
leg is coming along just fine. Unfortunately, my right hip

today was the grea ...

My mother, who is 67, had a knee replacement four

Okay, it's been a while. Let's start roll call and see how many people
we can lure out of the bushes long enough to check in. No lengthy
posts needed simply post "HERE!" so we know you're still out there.
Not sure if this will work, but we'll give it a try and see how it

I'll go first ;)
HERE! ...

Hip hip hooray
Wed, 28 Dec 2005 07:45:10 GMT
I thought some of the old timers around here might
appreciate resuscitating that joke ...
No?
Oh well.
Long time since I've been here, but I have come back to
