Pete, far be it from me, but do you read every thing you type before you post it ??   That is more then one sentence and a few breaths of air if you had to read that out loud.  I doubt you really talk like that, but it really is hard to read and I do like what you have to say.  It's just hard to get through sometimes...just sayin'.  It does sound like you are OK.  

   I'm not picking on you, but sometimes I give up trying to read one of your posts.

Pain medications help you make it through PT but aren't intended to improve your prose.        Hope for a speedy and complete recovery Pete

Did they connect any helm Joints to that hip?  prayers for a speedy recovery!

[Ed Kennell 38,200]

Keep us updated on your recovery Pete.   Best wishes for the best results.

[8ntruck 7,014]

That's good news.  Keep after that therapy - it really helps the recovery.

My wife has had a knee replacement and some back surgery.  The physical therapy was key to her recovery.

@stevasaurus  will make a point of , stoping , every separate  , issue, usually as any related , thought comes up, had a stroke in my left eye , that effected , detailing , had to go to a RETINA   SPECIALIST , for that , included , getting injections into the eye ball. as some of us get  older , we change , regularly adapt to what used to be.  function . will make apoint of stopping , every detail for you . used to work with a bunch of guys . that never did anything , or went anywhere , kind of like living in a closet . when ever I came back from a trip . it was always the same ,  well where in the hell did you go this time ? none of them could relate to anything , that  my wife and I , had seen , by the way , have you ever , been to the CN TOWER IN CHACAGO ?  PROBABLY NOT ,  go at night , so you can see  the aircraft , lighting , hanging in the sky , against a very well  lit city . the room you are in is all clear safety glass , top to bottom , you get there in the freight elevator , when the door opens , its a light show  , thats hard to beat , hope the periods helped , pete  

[stevasaurus 22,762]

I got through about 3 dangling participles and gave up Pete.  Glad you are OK.

@Ed Kennell   THANKS ED!  just cruising around the house with the walker , just have to go by what they say , for gains / corrections . joint work today  , is totally different from the past , every step , is laser  guided  , usually glued right on you , suchering , dissolves  in place , and there is minimal scaring , also its straight lined , not like the old style , free hand  surgery . in a mater of weeks it all fades away . glad to be on the other side , pete

 Pete...I was never attacking you.  You have a lot to ad to this site, I was just saying your posts are hard to read and full sentences would be easier to understand.  I'm wondering...if you can type all what you type, why can't you make full sentences??

   Just so you know, I am not going to make a contest out of this, but...if you want to show me your scars, I am full of arthritus, I have had a mini-stroke, a detached retina, high blood presure, fractured hip..arm and riped tendons in shoulder (with operation), knee surgery, cateracks, 3 hernias, but I still have my hair !   I know and have used crutches and walkers.  At the moment, I can still make full sentences that the members on this site can read.  

   I love you man...my prayers are with you...you have a lot to say...but I wish you could say it so it was easy to read and understand.

@stevasaurus    that detailing is something that I should have  taken care of . probably started with the meds , and just  saying what I felt , will be going over anything sent , so it makes sense . thank you for the exchange , probably the kick in the a   s , I needed , thanks pete

[peter lena 8,632]

@stevasaurus  today is  very good for  , transition , definitely  up and about  with a more definite  desire to gain on this  movement   stage , even got outside on the deck with the walker , sun , clean / clear . been doing laps in the house , therapist coming over at 3 30 . they have seen it all , so their insight into change , is gaged by your attitude , interest , desire , to get going . my leg skin has a number of  sticky zones , probably covered over with gauze  / protection , when getting out of bed , tends to stick together , initially like tearing at your skin , 3 am trying to get up . pain is off the chart , then settles down. overall though , making solid gains , wife is right there covering any issue , also getting much better with those hand squeezers , putting on socks etc. sleep is almost instant , always planning another trial at movement gain. my walking was a confused struggle , now its solid and much better , going for another walker gain , drinking a lot of water , probably have another nap . later ,  pete

@Ed Kennell   thanks ed ,  pete

I had my left hip replaced 3 weeks ago this last Monday and today I went to walmart shopping for food with no walker, cane or anything. I feel better than I have in years!!! Still taking a few pain meds but way down from two weeks ago. 

 

Hang in there, I have had both knees replaced and this was a cake walk!!! You'll be greasing something before you know it!!!!
