Three years and counting now.
I am doing SOOOOO much better now.
I rarely use my cane, and can walk (carefully) with out much assistance.
Currently, I am walking around 1 mile a day.
Social Security, after 2 years, has finally declared me disabled and now cover my healthcare.
The pain level is still high, and I havn't quite figured out why.
The doc's believe my hip is out of alignment and another surgury could be on the horizon.
Frankly, if it works, I need to get it.
My first doc, who has been with me since the beginning, took me of pain meds in May.
This SUCKED!
I still hurt a lot.
At any rate, I am going to use the opportunity that is presenting itself to attend the near by community college.
Wish me luck. (and a new 968) [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]
