I've finally had my hip op, nothing serious but done to get rid of the constant pain I've had over the last two years. I now have what is going to be an alarm setting off piece of metal in my joint so that should make some airport security systems go beserk.
This most likely means my wife and I willsettle for a holiday in the UK this year to make absolutely sure my hip is not going to give me problems when I fly.
From past experience of flying after an operation, on my wrist, the cabin pressure on aeroplanes can really make any weakish body points very painful.
