“My first thought, though, was of his artificial hip. Sky diving couldn’t be good for it, but I noticed he kept his right leg raised. Was that the hip that was replaced?”

I believe ‘Poppy’ has had both of his hips replaced; however, his most significant problem now is his lower back. He has had some corrective surgery, but it didn’t solve all of his problems — a situation that has significantly curtailed both his ability to walk upright (as you could see yesterday) and his ability play sports, particularly his beloved ‘speed’ golf! It amazes me that ‘Poppy’ even got near that plane much less jumped out of it — he’s one tough, determined man!
