Joint replacements are increasing in dramatic numbers. Previous generations would allow conditions to subract from their quality of life, and the baby-boomers are all about quality of life. Good to invest in med supply companies. Add to that, 30% of adults in America are obese. Gonna run roughshod on that cartilege!

Replacement joints can greatly improve quality of life for people with worn-out knees, but they're not risk-free and it's a major operation that people should not take lightly

The other day I heard a lady talking about her knee replacements.She said "I was only going to have one done,but I figured while I was at it I'd have both replaced"Her rationale for that was that the other knee would go sooner or later anyway.Is that stupid or what?Always remember;no replacement part can ever be better than what god gave you.Take care of yourself.

When God's part wears out, for whatever reason, a replacement part is not only better but necessary.

You young people will find out if you live long enough.
