You all know what happened to his hip in the first place, right? I understand he would get up on stage and start jumping around like a rock star....and one night he was trying to swing his arm around like Pete Townsend...and out goes his hip....who knew that folk musicians were so excitable?

Amergin, I thought Bob's hip went out when he did a stage dive into the mosh pit just as the crowd dispersed ...



Anyhoo, I'm delighted to hear you're out there raising hell, etc., again Deckman!


And, Kendall, I like the way you think!

"I see in the future a big store where one can go and tell the clerk, 'I need a pancreas for a 1928 folk singer'." LOL

Merry Morning everyone. Let's end this silly thread! Genie ... my hips are doing just fine. One total hip replacement was done about 6 years ago, the other was done last Spring. My only serious advice would be to research your doctor's history. Perhap's talk to several of his past patients and ask their opinion of his work.

My first hip surgery went very wrong, and the fault was mine in NOT looking at the doctor's record. My surgery last spring went well, even if I tore my stitches loose two weeks after surgery ... totally my fault. (I was up on stage too soon and moved wrong).

One final thought ... don't wait TOO LONG. Once the doctor's say it's time ... do it. If you need a new hip, you're living with a LOT OF PAIN! Best wishes ... bob nelson

Maybe end the silly part of the thread, but that's good advice, Bob.

Glad to know you were up to a 1000+ mi car trip in less than 6 mo after your surgery, Bob.
How long did you have to basically have Judy waiting on you? (And how much longer before you told her you really didn't need that any more?) *g*

Also how long did you have to avoid driving? How long before you could comfortably drive an hour or more at a stretch?

And just what WERE you doing onstage that messed up your hip in the first place?

I was driving in two weeks! I told that to the doctor one month after my surgery. He raised his eyebrows and said that he will give me permission to drive in another month. bad bad bob

Well, it wasn't the first post. It was Ebbie's post that had Bob Hope in it that I was deluding to.

Never mind.

I think we must ask ourselves some deep and penetrating questions about Art. For example, is Art Post-Modern Deconstructionist or Expressionist or Baroque or What? Knowing folkies, I'll bet Art is Baroque, flat Baroque.
