OK I have read since we have and artificial joint, that we have to take antibiotics before going to the dentist. Is that correct? I can't believe we have to do that, since antibiotics aren't good for ya. But please if anyone knows the answer let me know.
I got my hip resurfaced Sept 11, 2007, so one year and 2 months and a few days, couldn't be happier. I work out on the treadmill in the winter for 30 minutes every day 5 days a week, then do the elliptical for 20 minutes. In the summer and spring, I can ride bicycle about 100 miles or more a week. No one ever knows my hip is artificial, and the people who knew me when I limped so badly can even recognize me!!!!!! I wish I would have gotten it done earlier, but had some reservations, but I'm so happy with my new hip.
