I sent Dr. DeSmet my x-ray but do not have any blood ion levels to send him because my Kaiser Dr. told me they do not have a way to check for that
Here is what I recieved from Dr. DeSmet, word for word.
Dear Bill,
What size did you recieved ? As long as your prothesis is not wearing high this should not be a problem. Of course flatter would have been better, but if your size is not too small maybe you stay out of problems.

I meet with my Dr. and his partner tomorrow afternoon. We are going to discuss ion levels and how to test for them. I am curious to see what they are going to say about the angle, wear factor, revisions etc.
I haven't been posting much lately. After I posted my x-rays that thread pretty much went nowhere except for Nancy who sounds like she is in the same boat and a comment on how it would be good for bronco busting or whatever, I rolled with it and made a joke..... but kinda got over talking about it honestly. I figured I'd just do all my pt, eat better, try to dump 30 lbs. and move on with my life. Guess I just wanted to go back to a semi-normal life and stop dwelling on it 24/7. Well it is working better with less pain, I ride my bike 30 minutes a day, and do about an hour or more of pt exercisises everyday and am back to doing some work, but it's always there in the back of my mind that it is not right, even with the "maybe you stay out of problems" e-mail from Dr DeSmet. A good night's sleep is rare and I get kinda dizzy now and then when I sit up real fast. Nancy keep us posted and I wish you the best on this, and I will let you know what I find out as well. Sorry it's not all peaches and cream ha ha, it is better than before, but I would LOVE to be 100% confident it's right, I am a little jealous of those who got theirs right, human nature I guess, Enjoy it !!!!
See Ya, Bill.
