I am back. Be Warned

Marie5656 · Post by **Marie5656** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 10:06 am

Just thought I would warn everyone that I have returned for an extended stay. I have decided you have had enough of a break from me.

Plus I am off work for a month or so and am totally bored out of my skin already. The reason is that I am 3 weeks post-op from a total hip replacement on my right hip. So I am officially part bionic. I am sitting at home for a few more weeks before I can go back to work. I do not mind as it is freezing here, and I get to stay inside where it is warm.

I am doing well with rehab...walking with a walker, and may graduate back to a cane by the end of the week. My hip has been a sore spot (no pun intended) for about a year. It took alot of coniving, and finally a switch of primary doctors to convince someone that I was IN PAIN. She sent me for X`rays, and to an orthopedic. Turns out my right hip had no cartilidge left in it. This the extreme pain. I have been using a cane for several months. I should be able to lose the assisted walking device before I return to work.

So, I shall run off now to see what trouble I can get into.

Welcome back Marie...it's good to see you and hope you're feeling better.

Just saw your birthday thread...will post in it now.

I loved your astronomy pics and copped one for my desktop.....the nighttime pic overlooking a house with the moon and the stars above. I still have this lovely picture.

Is this really how you broke your hip Marie:wah:

Hi Marie !! Welcome back !! I haven't met you yet, but I look forward to that.. It sounds like you already have quite a few friends on here from when you were here before. Well I am sure you will get to know some new names, and enjoy Forum Garden again. Good luck with the new hip :-6

Yes, Kathy Ellen, that is how my hip got bad. LOL. Actually it was just old age and arthritis catching up with me. I am just plain wearing out.
