My FiL had both hips replaced and the recovery was pretty easy both times.
ND, hope you get nothing but good news!
I realized (or actually, DH realized) that the crossword tournament is the same weekend as the high school musical, so I most likely won't be able to go to the whole thing even if I get in via the waitlist. But if any out-of-town Buffistas want to come see Aeryn in The Prom (as ensemble), let me know! (We're about 45 minutes from Stamford, longer in traffic).
