Thank you!
I'm going home tomorrow morning.. Will have home health care for a while.
I'll try and check in here tomorrow morning.. Won't be on line back home right away because I don't have Internet yet in my apartment, and since I won't be able to drive, I don't know how soon I can get to the library.. takes longer on the bus. I'll probably be signing on with comcast soon after I get home, sigh.. Anyway, I'll be back here as soon as I'm able to be.

I just missed a phone call from Pat - she is home! She has no Internet at home yet, that may happen Friday, we hope it does. She has a home health aide worker coming twice a week, and is hoping to get back up to a normal activity level soon!
We just spoke on the phone, she is not in a lot of pain now, there's a dull ache that reminds her to be careful, and she is walking with - and often without - a cane. So all progress! And in a couple days she will be able to visit two of the kitties - she is not allowed to drive for a couple months yet, but there is a "senior" bus she can take if she books it in advance, and they are near one of her doctor offices that she has to go to anyway! (You are supposed to only use the bus for doctor appointments and shopping ...)

Great news. All the best Pat.
Hi, folks! Thank you very much! I am back home and now another serf in the empire of Comcast.
I have a lot of resting and healing to do yet before I am allowed back to full range of motion. I'm still on limitations of no lifting over 5 lbs., no twisting, no bending, no driving.. until 12-weeks post-surgery, which will be around halfway through December. I will be seeing Dr. Patel (surgeon) again Oct. 30. Maybe, since I've been doing well, he will move up the post-restrictions date?! I hope.
I had my first visits last week from my home-care physical therapist and occupational therapist. PT mainly wants to work on my strength and balance and get me walking more and farther, without the cane before long. OT will help me to get bathroom shower setup safest for me and to see how I can best handle doing laundry (machines are in basement, one floor down from me).
Once I can walk somewhat farther (with or without cane), I will be able to make it over to Trader Joe's, around the corner and down the street just a bit, and to the bus stop, a little farther.

Thank you, Anne.
I am pretty much walking without the cane now (not as far as Trader Joe's yet, though). The physical therapist wants to get me walking farther in each of her following three visits. Then her work will be done with me.
On Thursday I had my 6-weeks post-surgery appointment with the surgeon. He thinks I am doing really well. They did x-rays, which were fine. He also wants me to walk, more and more.
I'm still to keep with the physical limitations (no bending, twisting, or lifting more than 5 lbs.) until the next time he sees me, 12 weeks post surg. The appointment is set for Dec. 16.

Sorry I missed some updates...
I am sooooo happy to hear that you are back home!!!
You sound very happy with the result of the surgery; that's fantastic!!
I bet you are so glad you had that surgery !?
It was scary, but it's all worth it hey!!
I miss you enormously Sydney, Maya, Inka & Zazou Be happy there at the Rainbow Bridge
I am so happy for you that you are back home. No doubt it seems wonderful. Do what the therapists say and slowly but surely you will be better than before. You must be very relieved that the operation is over and that you're making very good progress. No doubt you'll get your cats just as soon as it is feasible and when you're physically able to take care of them. Take care... Kay in NC
Pat, I am glad things have worked out so well for you. And - new carpet and back on the net! Like a new home!
I hope your furbabies are doing well. You'll see them soon!

I'm so happy for you! You must be relieved that the operation is over and you're making such good progress. Slow but steady!
