How many Spyder Riders have had a Hip replacement? How does it work for you?

Just had my hip replaced three weeks ago. So far, recovery is going well, I do not need the cane or walker anymore. How do you know if you have a infection and what should I look for? Does age mean anything? I'm 78 young and I have put up with this hip for a few years. I'm now feeling much better.

I keep wondering why everyone else is getting older while I stay the same?

If you did it is obvious. Extreme chronic pain, and the wound refuses to fully close, or starts draining again. Swelling, redness, and very warm. Mine was a disaster, picture any cyst or skin infection you've ever had (swelling, puss, etc), and multiply it by a joint. Sounds like you are past the high risk stage, but I'd advise antibiotics for any dental work, etc.
