Two weeks ago, I heard a new use for the word revision, one that made me shudder. I accompanied my DH to an education class about his upcoming hip replacement surgery. The nurse sat on a stool, casually kicking her espadrilles while caressing a ceramic socket-and-ball hip prosthesis. On an x-ray viewer behind her was an x-ray of a hip with that prosthesis in place.
“These will probably last 15-20 years,” she said, “before a REVISION of the hip is required.”
DH had that hip replacement done last Friday and is doing fine. Because he’s in such good shape, he’s already walking with just a cane–no old-timer’s walker for him! And while I preach revision all the time, this is one case in which, I hope we never get around to a revision!
