Fabulous. Good to know if I need any more joints fixed (hope not!). Your OS was one of the recommendations given me by my knee OS. He gave me Dr. Suarez & Dr. Patel. Enjoy being on the other side.

First night at home felt good. Able to walk with walker. Just weak and sorry.. Constipated. Pain minimal more a soreness. Home physical therapy today. I'm going to catch up on the daytime shows and work from home tomorrow. My doc told me no restrictions to pace myself. Feeling very proud that I did this! I chose mobility over pain and kvetching! I should get a tee shirt that says that. My husband waiting on me and that helps as a back up.
Thanks so much all of you! This board got me thru the rough patches of doubt and despair.

@VF You're on your way-how wonderful. Here's a little hint from someone a month out - don't let DH see you doing too much LOL once mine caught on to all I could actually do the "pity factor" was gone Seriously I couldn't have done it without him. Looking forward to your recovery journey.
