Thanks for the support LauraB. I have read many of your posts during my "trial" period of the forum. Your activity on the forum was the most influential in convincing me to join. Like I said in my title it is somehow comforting interacting with others in a similar situation.
BTW, I am an engineer but not a mechanical or chemical one. I am highly encouraged by the M6. I am looking into all aspects of its design but mostly researching the materials used in its constructions. I’m reading up on UHMWPE which has apparently been used in knee/hip replacements for decades. Now my research on polycarbonate urethane isn’t as far along. My main questions are their lifetime and wear profile. Typically I think materials that operated at a constant moderate temperature last longer.
Keep posting you are an inspiration to those of us who have not yet joined. I pray that your procedure in September is successful. Please keep us informed of you journey and God bless.
