@PeterBezz You shouldn’t have been, it can be done same day but shouldn’t need more than an overnight stay. That’s a major part of the problem but I’ve no idea what your point was.

@WhatNowDoc so you are an expert on the NHS and Orthopaedic surgery, I never realised.
There are only a few UK hospitals that do hip replacement surgery same day. I was in for an extra day due to high blood pressure when trying to walk.
My point was I had a very positive experience

@exQUIZitely I was fascinated by this game when it first came out it was excellent.

Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds was developed by Looking Glass Technologies and published by Origin Systems in 1993.
Gameplay is non-linear, letting you roam freely through huge, multi-level environments, solve puzzles, fight in real time, and interact with NPCs.
For its time, it was highly innovative. It featured a fully explorable 3D world (no grid-snapping like older dungeon crawlers). The physics and object interactions were next level: you could pick up, drop, throw, stack, or combine almost anything. Want to build a staircase out of crates? Go for it. Pile junk to reach a high ledge? Sure thing. Knock over a table during a fight? It all worked. This level of interactivity was unheard of in 1993 - at least nothing close comes to mind.
As an old-time Ultima fan, I was skeptical when I heard about an action RPG spin-off that diverged so much from the original concept. But boy, was I wrong; it was a blast!

@KRISTENW00DS @BadgedPatriot “Depends On God” you’re brainwashed. Where was your so called god when my family were dying from Huntingtons disease? I’ll tell you nowhere because Gods don’t exist.😡

@BadgedPatriot I think it depends on God. 🤷♀️
How you’re able to enjoy your life will be dependent on how well you take care of yourself though.
Keep fit and keep moving…and you’ll be much happier than if you are riddled with chronic illnesses or aches and pains.
