My mother's hip replacement went out of joint again. She is in a lot of pain, and is currently at the hospital.
This is the second time this has happened.
I guess Murphy's law is in effect here.

Oooo! That's gotta hurt!
Hopefully they can reseat it without another operation, but send her a ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) from us anyway.

That's really a terrible situation. I hope she gets well soon. What is the reason it keeps getting dislodged again and again? Is that the initial surgery itself was wrong or something?

I hope she is better soon.
My mother needs a hip replaced so I hope she does not have that problem.

I know its not uncommon for hip joints to slip out in the so called rehabilitation timeframe but sounds a bit like maybe the replacement joint isn't quite the right size for the hip socket.
This happened to a cousin who ended up having it replaced all over again.

May we see the data you are using to arrive at that conclusion?

Intelligent women lurve code monkeys! We're reliable, generally practical and are low maintenance [except for things with lights and beeps].
AFAIK, the majority of the IT professionals I know are married or, with the younger ones, in stable relationships. Griff is married AND in a stable relationship. And a field relationship too.

No, no, no.
You keep horses in a stable.

Nope, you keep sheep in a pen, or a barn.
Or if you're lucky, the kitchen.

You also keep a goat in a stable, to keep the horse company.
As early as the 1700s, goats were used as companion animals to help settle race horses, keeping the notoriously skittish animals relaxed. Taking a horse's pet goat away would have agitated and upset the animal, potentially influencing the outcome of a race.
The practice of providing race horses with companion animals is still widespread, with horses bonding with ponies, chickens, dogs, and a variety of other animals in addition to goats. Many horses do indeed become deeply attached to their companions, exhibiting considerable stress when these animals are removed. Someone taking away a companion animal could negatively impact a horse's performance, and such incidents may have inspired the idiom “gets my goat” among observers.
