Looks like boomers are breaking all records. Due to our healthy, active ways, we are out-soing all hip and knee replacements of the Greatest Generation.

I read today that by 2030 the number of knee replacements in the US is expected to jump 673 percent according to a study done by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' annual meeting. Hip replacemts are expected to grow 174 percent to 572,000.

This is no surprise to me. I have a friend who has already had a hip replacement, and one who needs his knee done, but is dragging his feet, living in pain.

I hope there are enough doctors and nurses to ake care of all of us!
