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!
