1. Congrats on the future new hip

2. This proves my constant inane trash talk therapy is working

3. One of these days I’m gonna ride that loop with you — for about 7.9 minutes

Good luck! Knowing you, that hip will be riding all over sooner than later.

Oh nooo I did t know you’d been struggling with this.

Just prayed for a ā€œ100%, full and fast recovery for you. Funny, we are all great until our health takes a turn.

Hope to ride with you soon.

Sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with this but glad you’ve got a plan. Your essay is a good reminder of the importance of mindset. Good luck with everything!

Been wondering if a surgery date had been set, so that mystery is solved. While I think it’s a good plan to keep rolling till you go under the knife, believe the benefit is as much (or more) mental as physical. Betting you’ll break all records getting back on the bike afterwards and prayers for the best outcome possible.

Good luck - seems like hips have very good outcomes. My law school roommate had hers replaced last January and skied end of February.

Matches what I’ve heard, and I’ve got a good surgeon. Fingers crossed.
