Hip People

When I was young, I wanted to hang around "hip" people. They were the kind of people that were stylish and cool. As I got older, I still hang around with "hip" people. The only difference is that now I am referring to hip replacement.My circle of friends is falling apart. We have hip replacements, shoulder replacements. elbow surgeries, cataracts, back surgeries and more. At what point did we become our parents?
