    Thankks for your responses Layla, Surreygirl and Eman85. I officially called the PT sessions off. I do need to work on the stretches and strengthening at home but I dont need to bike for 10 minutes and swell-up. I'm going to the fair next week and will be walking all day but I'm feeling up to...

    I've been offline for awhile. I went back to work half days at week 4 and went to full days last week. I have a floating desk so I can stand or sit as needed. Walking is great, sitting for a little while is ok, PT is tough. Well, just the bicycle part is tough. Probably bc I'm so out of shape...

    So, I went into see the Dr. Definitely an allergic reaction to something. I received steroid meds for 6 days. Still taking oral benedryl and alternating benedryl and hydrocortisone cream. But the real news is....I walked a mile today and went to first post-op PT yesterday. Feeling fine. No...

    I'll send them a message tonight, thanks Layta. I'm only taking tylenol, once in awhile an Aleve that I took daily before surgery and a Tramadol at night. Its making me crazy.

    I HAVE AN ITCHY SPREADING RASH. It started on just the swollen areas and under the adhesive. Now it is on back, thigh, leg, hip. Appears to be on my arm and my face. All on the right hand side. Is this common? Abnormal? heard of?

    Bull76, good to hear you are coming along. Keep us posted. It sometimes feels like two stes forward one step back but overall should be getting better daily. SurreyGirl, hairdressing in recovery sounds wonderful. To feel good, looking good helps so much. Best of luck to you.

    Mojo I'm almost dancing. But dancing with bumply hives and hivey hives. I iced and elevated today b/c it had originally appeared as though my bumply hives were on swollen areas and hivey hives under adhesive. Now that adhesive is off and I've gotten good a good look. The under adhesive area...

    The adhesive is gone, yay. The itchies are subsiding. They moved my post op appointment up to Friday afternoon since I was going in to get adhesive removed. They did xrays and apparently everything is coming along. I do have an odd pain. It starts in middle of outside of thigh goes down through...

    Renting Raising Arizona today. Thanks. Love mindless comic relief. Sent a message to Drs office this morning about the itching, especially under the adhesive. Wish I could have taped the call back by the nurse. Lets just say I'm just glad I have all of you. Icing, elevating and resting today.

    Thanks Layla. May need another Al Pacino movie. Its itching hour. It gets worse at night. The incision area and also wherever I am swollen. Added Aveno anti-itch cream to the benedryl. Looking for good movies.

    Wednesday July 11th. I cannot believe how much better I feel everyday. I got out of bed today and had no use for even the cane. I felt like I did before my hip starting othering me 2-3 years ago. Once I am up for awhile I swell and then use the cane but, wow, surprised how well this is going...
