My main 9 to 5 job is for an orthopaedics company. I make replacement hips, shoulders, and elbows. Mostly out of titanium or cobalt chrome. Been at it for almost 25 years. Most of my time is spent running a CNC lathe with live tooling- milling and drilling heads in turret. Lots of ops. done at the same time compared to 10 years ago.

It would be so nice to have 1 of them right now . but I'm not about to take out another mortgage since I'll be just under 50 when my first is paid

I think that that is most expensive hip we make. Most are a lot less. Hospital bill and surgeon's bill will make you cry. My knee op 3 weeks ago has a $11,000 hospital bill plus the surgeon's bill which I have no idea how much it will be. And this was out-patient surgury, in at 9AM out at 3PM. 2nd surgery yesterday for bladder stones was about the same for time in at 7AM out at noon. Can't wait to see that bill Looks like my buying things went done the drain for the foreseeable future Lots of nice things out there to get with no money to buy
