Well went to get a third opinion yesterday and there's no doubt I'm getting a pair of hips this fall/winter. Arthritis is eating me apart. This will be joint surgery numbers 17 and 18. Already have new knees, shoulder, elbow and multiple other repairs. Sucks but what can ya do. I have shot multiple does and bucks from the ground with my xbow but I love my ladders. When I read stories about guys like Stevo, I still feel pretty lucky. I can still fix cars which I have been doing full time for 35 years so it could be worse. The doctors and my wife keep pushing me to go on permanent disability but, I'm not the sit home and watch Oprah type. Will keep pushing til I can't do it anymore. Wish me luck if you fee like it!
