Each day is easier. I have had Visiting Nurses and PT people here and they will not need to come back for a week, since I am in such good repair right now. Neighbors are getting my mail and friends are stopping by, so much so, that I am dying for a day to myself.

I am putting my full weight on the hip while walking with the walker. I am still stiff and will be for some time but not in pain, as long as I take the pills. I am trying to stretch out the amount of time between medications ... rather than reduce the amount. Everyone has recommended I do it that way.....

Meals are easy and since I knew I was having the surgery, it has been easy for me to eat each day. I have a freezer filled with emergency dinners etc. so I will be set for sometime.

I called my employer to let them know that I survived and would be checking in each week.

So don't worry about me from this point forward. Time is what is going to allow me to heal.

I have no more pain in my hip when I walk. It's wonderful.
