I saw an article where one man had his old femur cleaned up and polished then turned into a head for a cane. Good idea, make the traitorous bastard help out for a change.
Well, @Stilt, you brought it up. My bud who had worked at a funeral home once cremated an old guy who had had a hip replacement. As he was pouring the ashes into an urn (you never get ALL the ashes; you only get enough to fill the urn) he heard a CLUNK. It was the titanium ball end of a replacement hip joint. Buddy kept that ball end and planned to make a gearshift knob for his VW bus out of it. I don't know if he ever did...

Stay hip, Stilton!
When you come out of the anesthesia you'll be a woke hipster.
Next step, man bun.
Oh, THAT kind of bone broth!

Swell, a cannibalism joke

Spousal Unit still needs dental work before they'll sign off on him being medically ready for his hip replacement.
I quite the like the idea of making the old hip joint into a head for a cane. I wonder what the rules are about taking such a souvenir home with me?
You'll never know until you ask. I'm fairly sure it can be done, especially if you tell them you're not going home without it :)
