Hip, what hip!?!
We just got back from vacation verrrrrrry late last night and it was wonderful! After weeks of inactivity to let the bruised bone in the knee heal as much as possible, it was glorious to be able to do things again.
The knee was still a bit sore with the hiking in Chattanooga (or if I have to kneel for any reason) but held up well. The hips on the other hand? Not a wimper or whine with the hiking or the daily beach walks or kayaking. Not even a twinge! The only reminder from them at all was stiffness after driving a few hours between stops. With driving from the southern coast of Georgia to Missouri in one day, though, I'd say that's warranted with or without hip replacements!
The only sad part is vacation being over (except I am not scheduled to go back to the office until Monday so I'm planning a visit to the gym today (it sent me a note telling me it missed me) and then have hikes scheduled for Thurs, Fri and Sat and kayaking for Sunday, not to mention dancing Fri and Sat nights).
