Better and Better

Things are going great. I'm noticing that I have barely any pain and my left hip and leg are starting to feel more stable.

It took me 15 minutes to walk to the library last week and only 10 minutes today. I'm handling more walking every day and getting faster. 

I'm hoping with the start of my outpatient physio tomorrow that I'll get my 50%weight bearing restriction lifted and can go down to one crutch. I really would enjoy having one hand free to do things like carry my own cup to the sink. 

I see my orthopedic surgeon again at the end of this month to get evaluated if we can move forward with my right hip replacement or if it has to get pushed for more healing time.

The only thing really going on right now is I had to switch ends of the bed to sleep on, so I could tuck my body pillow along my left side to stop me from rolling onto my left hip in my sleep.

Nothing quite like sleeping comfortably and get woken up by dumb pain because I rolled over in my sleep.
