Well.... I'm sure you've all been breathlessly  awaiting this post. OK, maybe not breathlessly.
Saw my surgeon yesterday and got a good report. X-Rays look good, everything is in place!
Some restrictions have been lifted, I can ditch the crutches & use a cane, unlimited (within reason)
walking. I still have a few questions I forgot to ask yesterday, I will hope to get email answers soon.
The downside, the "Hip Precautions", not bending beyond 90 degrees, will remain in effect for two  weeks beyond what I expected. That means another month of asking Robin to tie my shoes.
Just joking, I only wear slip ons. It does mean, however, that there are some very simple day to day activities that I can't carry out for longer than I expected. Disappointing to say the least.
In the words of a first century philosopher, Oh Well!

Well...I made it! 4 weeks of house arrest is over! I will see my surgeon on Tuesday &, hopefully, get off crutches & get the Ok to get out and walk & get on with my life. Expecting to also get the Ok for physical therapy. Stay Tuned! Thanks, again, for all your support and good wishes.

                                               Day 19
      Yes....today's my 69th birthday! As my friend Larry says,
                             The last year of this decade!
       Last year's birthday was spent in the hospital so I guess that
                      being confined to the house isn't so bad.
                Having some trouble sleeping, that's annoying!
         Looking forward to the day I can be pain free & return to a
                                                   normal life!
          Not complaining, happy to be celebrating another birthday
                                   I'll take as many as I can get!

                                                    First time outdoors in 2 weeks.
                                      The mailbox is as far as I'm allowed to travel.
                                          Halfway through my 4 weeks of house arrest!
                                         
                         

I agree with you Elin. Much better caption.
Here I am with Nurse Julie who baby sat me
yesterday, day 10 of my recovery.
A little more mobile every day 2+ more
weeks of house arrest still seems like a
long time.
