Thought I would share the x-ray of my new hip, ball & socket.

how weirdly cool!..?
Do you know who makes it?
I used to work for a company named
“Stryker” there are an orthopedic company who designs all kinds of hips, knees , shoulders etc…. Famous for their hips though…
I wish you all the best with your new hip regardless of whoever made it.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas however you are spending it.

Here in the UK it is Christmas morning and I am drawing breath from an incredibly busy month. Following cancellation of social engagements over the last couple of weeks, and working from home for everyone except me (I had to go to the rescue), we have all managed to test negative and we have Daughter, Son and Son’s girlfriend here for the next couple of days :)

Well, I went over to my daughter's house at zero dark thirty (I'm home already at 6:30a), stayed about an hour. Her living room looked like santa's sleight erupted all over it. There wasn't a single space on the floor that wasn't covered with a toy, or parts of a toy or wrapping paper and boxes. Sheesh! Talk about going overboard. The boys each made me a present. From Cyrus I got a bird feeder and the artwork was personally done by him, and from Cody came a jewelry box also painted by him, along with a hand made card that wishes me a "Mere Krims" and the box is painted in the colors of a sea turtle and also has the message "I lov u grama" on it.

I really was toying with the idea of not going, but my daughter called me to say that the boys had made me something, so I knew I had to go. It was a madhouse!

I really am ok being alone on these types of holidays, but it does make me feel a bit lonely when I come home from something like that. Thankfully I have you all to lift me out of the doldrums!! So, start lifting already!!

Yvonne, you are lucky to have them in your life. It might give you stress @ "the madhouse", but it's good that you go ahead with the meetings. I have NO human kids. my house is quiet (sad), fortunately I do have my parrot's, Good ole Fred . . "Hi Fred, Hi Fred. . Hi Fred." my buddy telling me he wants attention. As I have told my close friends (few, less than the fingers on one hand), I'm socially awkward. In a group of people, I can be a wall flower (Ususally) or be able to mingle.
So, embrace the family you have, you'll need them more and more as you get older.
