Last Wednesday,old Warthog got a pain blocker,in my right hip,hopefully to stave off hip replacement (He said,when he looked at the fluoroscope picture of my right hip joint 'YIKES,LOTS OF ARTHRITIS IN THERE!!!')......Anyway,it wiorked well,SO: I have me a Dr. app't tomorrow,for a yearly poke and prod.I have started my weight loss project,have been walking,metal detecting,etc.,I figure weight loss will help my hips,plus diabetes (some have reversed their diabetes,by losing weight),blood pressure,etc...I have set a goal for myself,losing 60-70 Lbs.by next spring........
