Too hip

My mom has had both of her hips replaced (one in 1997 and the other in 2002). She called me tonight to tell me that yesterday one of them popped out -- again -- for the fourth (or fifth) time. They called 9-1-1, went to the hospital, and the doctor was able to get it back in place (OUCH!!!).

I'm hoping it's the last time Nan has to do the hip pop.

How painful that must be. Hope she has good pain medication!

EWW, yeah that happens sometimes. If I was Nan I would get a follow up/second opinion. May be the components are the wrong size and calibur. ?? Hang in there Nan. Carla from Georgia

Oh my! That happened to my father-in law many times after he lost weight. It is so painful. I'm so sorry Nan. I hope you feel better soon.

When I read Nan with hip pop, it sounded like Nan does hip hop! No hip hop for you, Nan! Not until your hip won't pop doing the hip hop!
