Well I'm sorta back.

I'm 69 and scared skinny of falling and shattering my titanium hip joint connection.
It sucks getting older but and my sweetie reminds me it's likely better than the alternative.
... maybe ...

Fortunately it was the femur that broke... the replaced the lower part with a longer one... then used what looks to be specialty tie wraps, and a part that looks like a snake head with fangs... holding together so far.... bone is healing up. The walking stick is helping a lot with balance at this point.

Don't fall is the key! If they would dial back gravity by about 25%, that would help a lot!
