Works great and I can actually sleep through the night without eating a handful of Iburophen and tossing from one side to the other 50 times.

HAVE YOU GUYS WATCHED THE HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY VIDEOS. IF I ever need one done I want Norm Abrahms from This Old House to do it. Not the doctors who never use hand tools.


We have a veterinarian that does them after hours. Have to go in the back door though wink The horse tranquilizers are awesome. I keep having to have my feet shaved on the bottoms though stirthepot beer
