Thank heaven for skilled surgeons and efficient and caring nurses. Those grandkids of yours will do you more good than a thousand get well cards, so enjoy their company while you recuperate. Please remind Sandy to remain alert - I trust that you will, initially, be a good P.T. patient but will become frustrated when you think you should be progressing faster than you are. That's when her loving persistence and encouragement will pay off. Wishing you a complete and speedy recovery, my friend - there are brighter days ahead!Mary ~ Reflections Around the Campfirehttp://www.reflectionsaroundthecampfire.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612782136487369362.post-55863582176053683212019-05-27T11:13:06.271-05:002019-05-27T11:13:06.271-05:00Thanks much for the kind words and prayers.

The early pain was extremely bad but after about a week the pain was a dull roar for about 6 weeks. The the torture really began as you reported. Physical Therapy is mean stuff. However after about 6 months I pronounced myself 90% of previous ability. The medical folks gave me a couple of exercises to do every day the rest of my life and they work. If I skip a few days I lose lots of mobility, so follow up as told. It makes a huge difference even if it is a nuisance. Here is my best wishes for a great recovery.Barney, The Old Fat Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242837062100545160noreply@blogger.com
