Best wishes, my old Dad needs one but as he's 80 recovery could be challenging to impossible. He's refusing the op, understandably and manages with cocodamol and resting as much as possible. He does however pop into town every single day to keep things moving.
Hi. I think I would hang on to my own at 80. Having said that I read an 82 year old who was three years post op and said he was a new man again. It's a personal choice. Hope he does well whatever he decides. Take care.
