    THR Halfway to the other side

    I weigh 10 pounds more than I did a week ago when I checked into the hospital. I know I haven't actually gained that much, so it must be water retention. But I have only minimal swelling. Is this normal? Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

    THR Halfway to the other side

    Did seem a little overzealous. and they all know my left hip is in bad condition. once PT realized I couldn't count on left leg, he did slap me back in bed. I was much stronger today. like that couldn't have waited? who is your new avatar? adorable. My first cat was an orange tabby...sweetest thing.

    THR Halfway to the other side

    RTHR yesterday. Was a brutal day. Didn't feel like my pain was relieved until late that night. Failed my first PT visit when my non-operated leg buckled repeatedly. Easier getting around today. I think I'm going to be fine.

    Mini Countdown!

    Thanks Jaycey. Packing for hospital now. Taking only things appropriate for PT. There's a cat holding down the stack of clothes I got out. Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk now Free

    THR Hit the Ground Runnin'

    Elliptical is a great idea. I always thought it was boring but, but I don't want to go through this again either. Might make it more fun to have an actual distance goal. You're doing fantastic if you're already planning a marathon. Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk now Free

    Scared newbie... Hip is shot. What if it doesn't work!!??

    shrinkette I know there are canes that stand on their own, but I went the practical route and ordered a set of 3 canes from Costco in different colors/designs to go with any outfit. One is blue metal flake, another has a celestial design...stars, moons, etc. And the last is a red/fuschia/blue...

    I'm having trouble posting. Preview doesn't seem to be working and apparently the actual post isn't actually posting. @shrinkett

    Hi shrinkette. Grumpy pretty well describes it. I'm looking forward to having surgeries behind me, but all the appointments and tests are annoying. My husband does everything too. I'm sick of only having one hand free with a cane in the other and dropping the stupid cane and not being able to...
