Thank you, Sue. If I remember correctly you once wrote that you continue to take antibiotics before going to the dentist even though it's not protocol after a number of years. So hearing from a careful person is greatly appreciated.

@susannf Yes, my orthopedic surgeon is in the "cautious camp" and recommends doing it forever. We just discussed it again at my every-two-year check on my hips, and his opinion remains that it is a low-risk precaution to take.
