Thx Sue. Yes he called it a “Hail Mary “so I’ll speak to him as soon as I can. I am familiar with people living without their hips. Sometimes you can put a spacer sometimes you can’t. But I have not heard of anyone living without their hip and most of their femur. That’s the resolution that I’m looking for.
