Just got back from the surgeon's office. He has given me the green light to put 100% weight on the leg now. Said the x-rays look great. I saw them...yeeeeeeeesh! I didn't know they put two huge screws up in my pelvis. He said they had to since my socket was so shallow. The liner would have popped out without the screws. Gave me the willies, tho. I just got up the courage to really look at my scar last week! LOL!
Anyway, I'm a happy camper. I get to graduate to the cane now. I feel a bit wobbly, but I think it's because I've been so cautious for the last 6 wks. I need to remember how to walk. No pain...whoopee!!!
And I don't have to go back to see him for another 6 wks. He was impressed with my range of motion. I've been doing good with my exercises.

Congratulations ! I don't think you be needing that cane much longer either. Seeing two big screws in my pelvis would make me a bit leery. Gee, wonder if you are going to set off the alarms in Sept. LOL
Hang in there Red and keep healing fast.
