Also resulting in Metallosis

Failing metal hip replacements can also lead to metallosis. When metal grinds on metal, metal "flakes" can rub off the hip replacement implant and seep into a patient's body. The result can be a build-up of metal debris in nearby tissue and in the bloodstream. Patients can experience pain around the hip joint, swelling and inflammation, numbness, bone loss, tissue death, and renewed mobility problems. These metal flakes can also travel to nearby organs such as the heart, leading to further complications.

The hilarious thing also is she named Laura as her power of attorney. They want to do a 4 hour surgery to give her a new hip but she’s scared and can’t think straight so she asked Laura to help her decide. Heather signed the paperwork. They had good scenes but then Heather being Heather asked Laura about Kevin’s sexual prowess because she wanted to compare it to Ryan’s. Laura exited stage left 🤣
