...if my surgery & recovery go well I'll never be inactive again! I can't wait to be able to walk without pain.
DD came over today & cleaned my bedroom carpeting. It's a pale cream color & shows every speck of dust. I have to make some changes so that when it'll be easier...like raise my bed. I won't be coming right home after surgery...have to go to a rehab center until I can climb steps, etc. Never buy a home without a bathroom on the first floor! Although the cost of my time in the center would pay for putting in a first floor bathroom.
Sorry to be talking about my dreaded surgery again. It seems to be all I can think about. June 1 st. will be here & over before I know it...right?
Hope you're all having a good day. This weather is wonderful...even the rainy (warm) days! Hugs, Cal

Glad to see you talking about the upcoming ordeal. I was wondering how one copes with a long wait in such pain. My surgeries have been pretty sudden, so I didn't need to dwell on it long. I had needed foot surgery a few years back and also swore I'd never be inactive again also. It took 6 months before I could walk comfortable in my Nikes and another 6 months until I could dance in flats. But, I was a good girl and followed the MDs orders and it did heal.
Keep visiting us so we know you are okay. Do you have someone who can post here when your surgery is done and you are in rehab?
hugs,

Ditto on the bathroom on the first floor.
Cal, I am here banging my head against the wall.
Getting the laundry upstairs is the last thing I want to do, but am getting a lot of resistance from DH. There is space in the kitchen, but it would be pretty complicated plumbing and expensive. He's sure we can manage to get up & down somehow. Fortunately, we have enough family in the general area that they could stop for a few hours and get the laundry done for us. Plus, there are still places where laundry will be be done for us.

Considering that the first twinge of pain started at the end of December, I too, am wondering how I've lasted this long, Jacquie.
Mindy, if it's Rich's hip he'll always be in pain.
Thank you for perservering, Bea,
