Different drugs my friend... for different reasons.... not all drugs are in the same category.....
Best Wishes for Richard Petersen

Over 20 years ago, a colleague had both hips replaced and was back downhill skiing the next season, and I'm sure there have been improvements since then. Good luck, Richard.

A hip replacement is not going to keep Trader Richard down, that's for sure. A quick recovery is headed your way.

Speedy recovery (but don't rush it and get into trouble.)

These days they'll have you back on your feet doing the Charleston the next day. Is the Charleston still a thing? I don't get out much...

All I know about the Charleston is it appears you fall in the pool at the end.

Peace be to you Richard.
You know Richard has to be in a good place mentally:
1. His Packers made playoffs Sunday
2. He woke up from his surgery Monday and
3. Michigan won NCAA football playoffs Monday night
First three days after surgery can be tough but so is Richard.

He has really nice GUILDS to play!4. He has guitars to play.
Just texted with Richard - better day but extremely tired. Wishing him solid and uninterrupted sleep.
I didn't think Rich could text on that dinosaur phone of his! Is he home now?
I don't know about "home" but think the "dinosaur" phone bit the dust in the summer or fall?
Will ask him about home tomorrow.

Richard, speaking from experience (2020), take the pain meds they give you, don't worry about relying on them (they won't give you THAT many), and it will get you through the rough spots and you should never be more than a little sore and stiff...but if you think you are going to be a hero and refuse the meds, you'll be more than sore...and eventually need to use them! Wishing you all the best, depending upon the manner in which they did the replacement, you will be up and around and probably without a walker in 4-6 weeks...not ready to be laying bricks at that time, but walking tall and looking good!
Last I heard, he said he still had a flip phone. Mighty hard to text on them!

Absolutely this. When I got home from shoulder surgery I felt fine so figured I wouldn't take the drugs unless I needed them. I woke up screaming at 3am when the nerve block wore off. I'll never do that again!
