Back from OS visit! The brace went straight to the garbage and he lifted all my restrictions. I had a long list of things I wanted to do and he said yes to them all. What a relief. My knee is unhappy and doesn't really want to bend but it will get better. I asked about the sandals and he never heard of not wearing sandals being a restriction. He did say there will always be a risk of dislocation and not to put my leg in really unusual positions???? Is that just me, or is that all hip replacement patients? I didn't ask that question. He wanted me out of work another month, which I did not agree with so we compromised and I will go back the 29th, after a week (already scheduled) vacation. He said he doesn't return people for half days, he wants us to wait til we can work all day. I'm sure I can do that in three more weeks. He also said no dental work at all for six months, fine with me! They are all different in their advice, but we have to listen to our own surgeon, he knows us best. I'm very relieved after this visit, I sure had a lot of "what ifs" in my mind, all negative of course.

That's both an excellent reason and pretty good excuse for whining! I like it.
I noticed that your avatar is the WDW Castle at Christmas. Are you a Disney fan? We are and are planning a humongous family trip to WDW this December 
and so I am keeping that as my goal to get moving as much as normal by then. I gotta keep up with three grandkids 5 and under!!! 
I have a question for these people who say things like "don't put it in really unusual positions". What the heck is unusual?? What I mean by that and what he means by that are probably two entirely different things. I would say that the follow through on a golf swing is pretty unusual, but he didn't tell you no golf. Etc. There's your whine for you, want some cheese with that?
