After my hip replacement surgery, I spent all of February walking with crutches. At the beginning of March, I progressed to walking with a cane. This morning I walked from our office on Eighth Street to get my haircut on Fourth Street, and I deliberately left my cane at the office when I left for my appointment…

I walked to my haircut and back to the office without any problems or any pain. It was a pretty amazing feeling to walk across downtown again without help, without a limp and without any pain. It was a very proud moment for me. Today marks the day that after about three years, my hip felt normal again. That’s been a long time coming. 😀🏥👍❤️
