They sat around in a small jar for years and I suppose she threw them away eventually.<br /><br />There is a story locally that, when an autocratic old lady had her hip replacement, she insisted on being given the old joint. She cooked it and gave it to her Bedlington Terrier, who was visibly upset and refused to touch it, to her indignation. I've never felt able to ask her if it's true.<br /><br />When I had my hip replaced, I wished I'd asked to see the pieces they removed and the pieces they were putting in. I suspect I'd have had more luck with the latter, but I'll remember it for next time.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-25252728269284082992014-11-05T09:37:39.726+00:002014-11-05T09:37:39.726+00:00I was given my gallstone.
