I’m not really certain how long I’ll be able to maintain this lying in one spot plan.  In theory, it sounds great.  But, when combined with my need to constantly be doing something, ANYTHING, it’s a little tiresome.  Don’t get me wrong.  The moment I stand up, I want to scream for my mommy, but am trying to maintain some sort of dignity.  Seriously, I’m not trying for any sort of dignity, this just burns.  Not like past surgeries, where those hurt, this one burns.  A big sort of ouchy, if you know what I mean.  The ice works great on it while I’m not standing on my feet.  Once my feet touch the floor, all deals are off.

I had some visitors today and it gave Rich some free time to run errands.  I’m blessed to have wonderful, supportive friends.  I’d like to write more, but I’ve read the last couple of days blogs and am not certain my mind is completely clear.  So for now I’ll leave you with this. If you get your hip replaced, make sure they do it with the new style that is a four inch incision and then buy yourself a truckload of ice, you’re gonna need it.
