    @Jaycey, @Cynthia777 happy to be able to report such a positive outcome. Truly Bonesmart Forum had a very big part in this effort. Howie just walked 3 miles! An amazing accomplishment for a man that has never liked to walk. Healthy hips or not! :egypdance: Cheers, Denise

    THR One step at a time

    @Liznwiz, Howie just went up stairs "normally" yesterday at two months. He is doing great but still doesn't have his full strength back yet. Toilets......what an issue! We are at a hotel where our toilet is about 12" off the floor. :no-fin: Hubby has to go to the Lobby restroom and use the...

    Going nowhere fast. New OS / KP San Diego says I'm too young.

    @Cherie The secret to Kaiser IMHO is to find a really good GP. They are your best bet to lead you through the maze. Mr. Hippie's GP took one look at his hip X-ray and we had an appointment with the OS within three hours. Surgery was scheduled within six weeks. We are in Northern California but I...

    THR WOW! Lore Has a New Hip!

    Great to hear about your progress. Mr Hippie also had a rash but it was only on the operated leg. Lasted a week and now is gone. When he had his staples out on Friday, the doctor wasn't concerned unless it got worse. Cheers, Denise
