Hi Layla and hi GrannyC - so glad things are great for you.
I underwent total hip replacement surgery in late June. Since then, I have had some pain - according to some knowledgeable people, due to excessive exercise; nevertheless, I have decreased my exercise and, therefore, my pain.
It has been some months now, and I have much less pain and I walk only with a cane. I am planning a trip in a couple of days, also. Overall, I am doing well. I hope to get even better at the six-month mark.
Anyway, thanks to all of you and, please know, that you WILL get better even though, in the early days, you feel scared and weak.
Denise.
