Good Bye summits

Hi all,
shortly before reaching the double goatdom my hip joint refused to cooperate any more. I am going to get a replacement - an artificial joint in February 2013. I am afraid I will be off the game for at least till the summer months, but hope to have time enough to improve my chaser’s score. Thank you all the chasers for making my activations a fun. Keep the fingers crossed for me.

Fingers firmly crossed for you Ruda.

I think you should get extra points for each unique hip!

Sorry to hear this. When you are repaired you should be good as new! I had to have a knee operation this year so I know something :sunglasses:
Take care and best wishes.

Good Luck Ruda.

If it is any consolation I met a walker on the hill who had both hips replaced, his surgeon told him his hill walking days were over. He was celebrating just completing all the Munros - and holding up two fingers to his surgeon!!
