Today my hip surgeon removed all restrictions as to the use of my right leg. I immediately donned my right shoe, siezed my walker, and put it to the test: I can walk!!! Thank God almighty, I can walk!!! Actually, I thank the therapists who have worked very hard to get me ready for this moment. I will have to use the walker for a couple of days before the therapists will put me to going up and down stairs but I honestly expect to be out of here within two weeks. I’m not all that certain as to where I will go; probably back to my sister’s for a while, but a lot of doors that were closed have now opened. I feel all rehabbed and ready for the world. ---
