   Monty, inadvertently giving us multiple reasons why God made us just a little more oblivious than the rest of His creatures. :-D

   Oh, I went through an injection for bursitis in that hip and another injection in the front of the hip for pain in the inner hip area. And then PT. That went on for about 2 months, but there was no improvement. In fact, it was getting worse. That’s when the Ortho doc ordered a MRI and posited I might need a hip replacement. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting that, though I suppose I should have. I’m just grateful I could get scheduled so quickly! And I’m even more grateful for an excellent surgeon. I’m glad that your wife was able to get relief via the knee replacements.

   True; however, Americans tend to believe that Canada’s universal health care program is way better than our own. I won’t argue the merits, but I will argue that I don’t have to be on a waiting list to get the hip replacement I need—it was schedule 6 weeks out from the determination it’s necessary. And my dear friends battling cancer didn’t have to wait until too late for treatment. They were started within the week. That is the main issue complained about by Canadians. If you can’t get a primary care doctor, you can’t get referrals for care from specialists. And even if you do, then you must wait, often months on end, to get in for an appointment.
