Now HERE'S a question I bet has never arisen on here...I have a new THR(total Hip Replacement--nice chunk of metal into my leg and metal/plastic cup in ball joint)...while doing very well in recovery at day 86 post surgery, I saw the mention of the Meteorite stick, with the XXL magnet..Methinks if this got too close to my new hardware, I'd be in BIG trouble! Comments welcomed! I don't want to have to call 911 and make the evening news... Just D..... glad to be off a walker, and walking with just a cane now. Cal G.
