Jimmy's hip replacement.....

After the Grand Canyon rally, we had to rush back to Ruidoso, where the animals and I stayed while Jimmy drove to Fort Worth for his pre-op tests. Then he had to be back  in Ruidoso for the contractor's monthly meeting, because we were sponsoring it and having our Demilec Spray Foam Salesman showing a presentation on June 3rd.
Leaving that night, after the meeting, we got to Fort Worth on the 4th, his surgery was at 5:30 am the morning of the 5th.
They did not use anesthesia, they used a spinal block, (like a C section).....at any rate, I walked into the hospital room and he was reading the room service menu for lunch!
They discharged him on Saturday and we left straight from the hospital and drove back to N.M..
He is doing very well and will be using a walker for a month.
We will all be loading up for a quick 600 mile drive, for his follow-up on the 20th in Fort Worth.
