title: By the way, doctor... I'm 78 and have a long history of heart valve trouble - a leaky aortic valve, to be exact. But now it looks like my creaky left hip needs to be replaced. My husband is worried that my heart won't be able to take the operation. My doctors think I should be okay. Who's right?
