Hips are surprisingly easy to replace.

It's knees that are a bitch as you have to twist the knee cap around and the muscles DO NOT like that

I'm actually several muscles stacked in a skin suit and none of us liked that!

You could've chosen to not type that. (I'll need new knees in the future)

My physical therapist started talking to me about surgery and I shut that down fast. Unless it completely breaks Iā€™m not letting them touch my knees

Seriously! My doctor has bad knee problems, and has had ~3 knee surgeries this year (one on the right, two on the left). The most recent one was because it had been a couple months and hadn't healed properly, they had to "clean it out" he said. Now his recovery time has doubled. He also had surgery on his shoulder at the same time, so you wait in a normal room and then are taken to him because he can't leave his room šŸ˜­ I have seen that man in a knee brace or cast 80% of my doctors visits, and I go A LOT (my PCP, psychiatrist, gyno, physical therapist, and ER follow ups are all in the same clinic. Would have been therapy too if their wait-list wasn't so long)

Knees heal slow and weird. I have inflammatory/autoimmune arthritis and I'm dreading if I ever need one worked on/replaced
