"Life is getting back to normal." I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery. My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain. I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip! There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking! I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op" period. I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer. Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing. Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day! Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task. Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted. Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
After a month and a half, the dealership finally received and replaced the radio and a module (they didn’t say which module, just that it was cracked and didn’t say if it was found cracked or was cracked during the process). By the time I got home the radio took an update. We will see from here. 🤞
So I’m still looking at this, and still finding few options. I’m reconsidering now going to a 275/60r22. No additional width, so I think it avoids the upper control arm issue. 35.0” diameter, so 1.1” larger in radius than OEM. So that leaves me with two questions for anyone that may have this setup.
1) Does it fit without any rubbing at full suspension compression? I have no way to measure this.
2) What kind of fuel mileage hit did you take city/highway moving to an E load range tire? I have the 6.2. OEMs are 41#, the Michelins in this size are 59#. That’s a lot more rotational mass.
