    I'm 6 weeks out too (12Dec11) and had the pain in control until I went into the city for my first post operative appointment on Thursday. Even though my husband's company arranged for a car to meet me at the ferry I still did lots of walking and I've been paying for it ever since. So, I iced...

    WOW! Good morning everyone! Thank you so much for the warm welcome to the BoneSmart family!

They did need...
