    THR Teri's Recovery-Hip #2

    Hi Teri, Congratulations on hip number 2. It sounds to me that you are doing really well. I remember shaking with the cold in recovery and being so grateful for the extra blankets included a foil space type one to warm me up. I will follow your progress in recovery.
