Ron, so good to see you're recovering well. That hip ball looked like it had some hard miles on it. Speedy recovery, do the PT.

Thanks.


It ain't the years, it's the miles.

I can't like this enough! Hope your recovery goes well.

Well here it is 8 days from climbing down off the bloody slab and I am feeling great. With minimal assistance from the walker, I am striding normally for the first time in years. I think this thing is working.

Might as well take the bandage off. Let's see that thing.

I don't know what solar system that dressing came from, but it is stuck on tighter than a litter of newborn possums hanging on to momma possum.

They say I can shower and everything but I've been doing spit baths just because I feel like the longer that dressing is on there, the less chance I'll have for infection.

Glad it all worked out. Must be a great feeling, running marathons soon. Oh BTW, you have a streaker in your house!

Pretty sure the bandage on my back stayed there for about 5 or 6 weeks, even with getting wet in showers. After I was home for about a week I realized they didn't give me any instructions on changing it, so I called and asked. They took it off at my post-op visit.

I have to say, I am sooo darned glad I had this surgery. It is less than three weeks and I am going wherever I want you with the aid of a cane. I am sleeping in a bed for the first time in a year or more. I can walk up stairs using both legs, also for the first time in a year or more.

Until last week, I have not been able to lift my left leg for a high step without pulling it up by hand. Heck I can walk like our President now!
