For those who follow my blog, I am sure that you have noticed a “silence” over the past month and a half. Well there is a reason. On May 12, I underwent total hip replacement surgery. This came on very quickly – actually with only six days advance notice.
For the first seven weeks – post surgery – I managed on crutches, home rehab, and no driving. Thankfully, for the past two weeks, I’ve sequed to outpatient physical therapy and have been able to drive.
I don’t want to go into the details other than to mention three things. The operation went wonderfully and I am totally without the blistering pain that finally brought me into surgery (I have been living with the pain since 2004). U.S. healthcare is wonderful if you have private health insurance. Oxycontin and Vicodin don’t mix with try to write intelligently for a blog. I am now ready to start posting again.
Glad to have you back!
Hi Ann - thank you for your very kind response. It’s great to be back.
