[AT] Cee Vill, hip replacement

[Alan Nadeau]

Charlie,  Nothing wrong with admitting anxiety about surgery, but it might 
help to check out this thread 
http://www.letstalksnow.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24567    The guy who 
started it is Mike Coombs, a friend of ours from Maine.  He was nervous 
about getting it done as well.  Within days of the surgery he was in less 
discomfort than he was before he had it done.   I'm sure he would be willing 
to talk to you about it if you want.  Send me your email and I'll send you 
his phone number and let him know you might be calling.

Also, if it helps, my wife has had both hers done with truly amazing 
results.
