There are certain movements that before the surgery caused pain (like hoisting myself into our Highlander). Today after I "hoisted", I felt a little sore. Hard to explain but the pain has been replaced with soreness. I believe I already feel a huge improvement. On the other hand, it may just be my current "drug-addled imagination". LOL. I am scheduled to take Tramadol every 6 hours, Gabapentin 4 times a day, and Oxycodone as needed to alleviate severe acute pain. So needless to say, I am in LaLa land. (That's my defense and I'm sticking to it).
Thank you again Sweet Nothings for your kind thoughts and prayers. Talk to you tomorrow. For me, it's now time to hit the hay.

NOTHING but delighted to hear of your progress and that you are now back in the comfort of your own home. Can't help but pray not only for healing of that hip of yours but also for the relationship between you and your sister. I know a little about that. My sister and I have had what sounds like a similar relationship as yours over the years. It has only been in the last 2 years that our relationship completely changed and now when we get together it is so different. I'm so glad that even though it took this long that we are finally able to live our latter years as best friends. Sometimes not so pleasant circumstances can bring you closer to one another.
Thanks again, BK, for sharing your story with us and thereby giving us the privilege to walk through it with you and pray for you along the way.
