YOU WERE ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES AS ALL WENT WELL

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG WITH MED JOURNEYS THEIR ATTITUDE CHANGES.

YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR OWN AIR TICKET HOME.

THEY DONT GEET IN TOUCH TO MAKE SURE YOU GET HOME

THEY TELL YOU THEY WILL GET IN TOUCH REGARDING REFUND AND NEVER DO.

THERE ARE MANY MORE THINGS THEY DO EVEN VISA SHORTCUTS

THEY THREATEN YOU WITH LAWYERS WHEN YOU GET NEAR THE BONE ETC.

I HAVE ALL E-MAILS AND CONTACT TO BACK UP EVERYTHING I AM SAYING SO CHECK EVERY DETAIL BEFORE YOU GO

Thanks for posting these videos. I'm going for a total hip replacement (left) on Feb 9th, 2010. I can't wait to gain some of my mobility back. Looks like Wally is doing rather well. :-)

This photo was two weeks after the surgery. Today he's able to do everything he did before and much more because there isn't any pain anymore. The surgeon told us his ball joint was completely collapsed. They couldn't believe he had even been able to walk prior to the surgery. Amazing how much of a difference it made in his quality of life.

Nice to know about your recover I will need to do on both sides....If I recover 50% of my past phisical capacity it would be a great deal...cheers
