of his left him before he was 40, they tried rebuilding it and he went back to his truck driving job but only lasted three years, you could see the pain etched in his face.

He ended up with one re-build and 5 replacements on the left hip and the rt hip wore out taking the brunt of what the left couldn't do so he had that replaced back in 2008.

It just changed our life quite a bit.
