Great news! :) Your bed is going to feel good tonight!!

Thanks Kelly! Just got back from a 4 day houseboat trip on Rainy Lake and the hip is a bit sore. I'm going to try golf the first decent day. I love your Avatar photo!! :)

Hope your day was a good one! :)

Great to get an update! :)

I had my 6 week check-up today with my surgeon and he said I can do pretty much what I want. I'm still going to take it easy, but I did mow the lawn this week and I think I will give golf a try next week sometime. He said no problem mowing the trails this fall or grooming this winter. :) I...

Have a great day and many more!!

Thinking of and praying for you, Nora and Grace. I hope you get home soon. No place like home. :)

Happy Birthday to you! Enjoy the day and the long weekend! :)

Your attitude is great, and that's half the battle! :) Nothing wrong with pain meds if needed. Everyone I have talked to that have had both a knee and hip done, the knee is much more painful and has a longer recovery. More complex surgery than a hip. Keep it up mezz!

I had my first checkup on the 16th and that went well. No more walker needed but they recommended a cane for a while. I rarely use the cane, but I'm being very careful. I'm walking over 200 yards at a time now and not having any problems. I will keep increasing that a bit each day and see...

Glad to hear all is going well so far! I like the approach you are taking. Cheers!!

Thanks mezz! Hip replacements are not near as complicated as a knee replacement from everything I have read and heard. Good luck tomorrow on #2. At least you know what to expect now. I made the mistake of rolling onto my stomach in my sleep Saturday night, and that hurt a bit.

Over a week since my surgery and things can’t be going any better. I still have not had to take any pain medication and haven’t taken any Tylenol in several days. I’m doing PT on my own at home and that is going well and I can walk around pretty well. My first check up is Tuesday already and...

Not to mention the constipation those things can give you.

Thanks guys! Still going well and I have not had to take any pain medication yet.

The surgery was today and went great. Had to be to Duluth by 6:40 and they started on me at 8:40. In recovery by 11:30 and on my phone doing some work by 12:05. They had me go through OT and PT and was released at 3:30. The nurse commented she thought it was the quickest anyone had been...

Happy Birthday, way too late, but hope it was great!

Sorry I'm so late, but hope it was a good one! Happy Birthday!

We did! I took your advice and we stayed at Top O the Morn for 4 nights last week. Very nice spot. We have made 4 trips so far and 2 more to go plus a houseboat trip on Rainy Lake. :)

Thanks ibendwire, I've heard that too. LOL heckler56! I hope I can do that.
