.....Or are they ? .
Some time back replacement knees & hips were got for five years or so, my middle sister has had them all done and had a quick recovery and gardens again, says zero pain so mayhap the next time (ugh) I crash my Moto I'll let the surgeons replace the knees they wanted to replace back then .
I followed the physical therapy regemine (SP) to the letter and I have almost zero knee / hip pain now and I've been working on my old cars and Motos quite a bit .
Unless you post photos, you're lying about Florida
