Hip replacement

I just scheduled myself for hip replacement surgery. They refused to do the newest technique on me, which is hip re-surfacing, because they say I'm too old! I need both hips replaced but the soonest they can do the second one is three weeks later. It's gonna be a helluva month or so but I hope to be playing golf, hiking, snowshoeing, roller-blading, biking and just living a more normal lifestyle...sooner rather than later.
