As promised...here is my progress report:
I had the surgery to replace the right hip on October, 21st...a Monday and was sent home on the following Wednesday. Each day I do see progress. I'm taking all of your advice and precautions. While therapy is not much fun, I can see where it is helping. My check-up 3 weeks after surgery was all positive. I was given the approval to start driving. Although, I've only driven twice for a very short distance. It is now 4 weeks post-op and I'm really looking forward to the 2014 camping season...Guess I must be doing okay.
Thanks again for your suggestions and words of encouragement...they are greatly appreciated.
