Thanks to everyone for their prayers for my youngest sister.
Nancyr had successful hip joint replacement yesterday (12/16). This was her 2nd hip joint replacement.
So now, at age 53, she's had both hip joints and both knee joints replaced. To the best of my knowledge, her lupus is responsible for all but the first joint replacement. Her #@&! dog was responsible for the first one at age 42.
She told me after her first surgery in October 98 that joint hardware does have a life expectancy and that it depended on your activity level. Has anyone ever heard of this?
