    I can feel your pain, or at least what you may feel when the meds wear off. eek7.gif
    The worst is, even after really working hard to wean off the pain meds, I still suffered withdrawal :cry

    I'm doing well - 6 weeks post surgery on Monday. I can drive, I'm off pain meds, PT 3x a week, Gym 2 other days a week. I can bike and use the stair machine fine now. I can do most anything non-impact with my leg/hip - but I still can't tie a shoe or put a sock on that foot. Few more weeks for that.

    Thanks!
    Andy

    Speedy recovery, hope all is well. Physical therapy is the key. Sent a patient for hip replacement today!
    It is, and my guy is a godsend. He's so good I'm doing some work portraits of him next week as a thank-you. clap.gif

    You're not far off lol3.gif I tallied up the cost of the whole thing, $77,000 all-in, Surgeon/Doctor visits, Xrays, meds, hospital, surgeon, anesthesiologist, physical therapy. Holy cow it's expensive. Thank goodness we have awesome insurance, this thing cost me $0 out of my own pocket.

    Sounds good.

    How I wish I was going to Death Valley, too. Kid, work, and stuff in general keeps me going. I wish I had a smug job so I didn't have to work so much.
