Making leaps and bounds toward becoming the bionic woman! Been at goal for three months now and in the hospital for hip replacement.

The surgery went well yesterday afternoon (in the middle of the Tropical Storm!) the pain was excruciating the first couple hours. Finally found the right pain med combo and am doing well. I slept on and off for the past 7 hours. Up now with some hot tea. I have made a couple trips to the bathroom so far with my walker and some assistance! Getting easier each time.

Probably need to get some more rest as tomorrow will be a big day with PT starting at 8:30 am!

So happy this is finally here. I cant wait to be back to golf, bike riding and playing tennis! Talk to you all soon!

Glad to hear you came through alright.  Every day you will feel better until you are leaping tall building.  Opp, that is Superman not the Bionic Woman!  Take care and hope get better soon.

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
