Life is getting better!

I think the time has come to where I can say the surgery was a success. I have been walking without a cane for the last 4 days and hope to be walking without it for ever! I still have a little pain, but, there is no pain in the joint itself. I have also noticed a little more muscle tone in the operated leg. I have been using the leg allot more and limping less and less. The Doctor did say I would have more trouble with my other leg and back and was right. I am hoping, with a trip to the chiropractor, things will even out and the back and neck pain will go away. All in all, I am pleased with the way I am healing. It was a very long journey, but, a journey worth taking. Vera, if I were you, I would be pushing the Doctor a little harder for a surgery on your leg. The sooner you get it done, the sooner the recovery and pain will be behind you. I am still on some pain meds, but even those are decreasing as the days pass. Thank you all for your encouraging words and well wishes and for all your support. I couldn't have made it through these tough times without it.
