Well sitting in a recliner at the University Medical Center in Jackson,Ms. Had right hip replacement 5 years ago and it has done okay,not great but will tolerate it. Had left hip done a year and 8 months ago. Never worked good and at times it would put me down for a few days. I was referred to a revision specialist last October. He quickly told me my hip was installed improperly and developed Staph infection. I had the old prosthetic taken out on Feb.12. Had a port installed and took 7 weeks of Vanc 3 times a day and oral antibiotics until a couple weeks ago. Yesterday I had the new fake hip put in . Missed the entire fishing season so far,but hopefully I will be back at it by early fall. Now I need to heal. I'm cut from the top of hip to the back of my knee. If some of you don't mind,pass a few prayers my way. Don't normally ask people to do this for me. All my friends have kept me in their prayers but would appreciate it if my Champion family would also. I believe the prayers and well wishes will help even if you don't really know me. Tough times but when I take a look around me, I can see people in much worse shape. I miss the little things I can't do now worse than anything. I am a doer not a good sitter. Thanks Ron
