Anyway I've been awake since 3:00 a.m. because the pain in my hip returned roughly 28 hours after the injection... And woke me up...The lidocaine had apparently numbed it for that amount of time but when it wore off the pain came back big time... So it looks like my hip replacement is going to be a done deal on May 20th... I have a lot of hardware in my body.... In 1979 I was in a bad car wreck... Broke both my shoulders and my left arm.. and caved in my face.... I had to have maxillofacial surgery... My car was destroyed.... I just inadvertently let the insurance expire... Anyway the other guy got the ticket... Not that I was conscious at the time to know that... The guy that hit me was an illegal alien.... He had good insurance though... The "Get Out the Car and Haul Ass on Foot Insurance Agency"...
