Almost 4 weeks post-op ....

All continues to progress well with the hip. My 4-week post-op appt. is this Friday at 11am. I am sure we will take x-rays, but I anticipate everything being fine. I am driving again ... it is fine, but I have to remember to "back in" to the car seat. Doing stairs is coming along, but going down is easier than coming up. I walked at the mall several times this week, but really felt it when I returned home. I have to be careful to not do multiple, consecutive days in a row with a lot of walking/standing. I think it is going to take another 4-6 weeks, before I am back to full stamina.

This is my last week at home and my plan is to return to work on August 1st. I have a student group at JA on August 1st, of all things! I have great staff that will work with me & if needed I will use the scooter.

I'll update again after the Friday appointment .... not a lot new happening on the hip front at the moment.

Thanks for your continued prayers & for checking in!
Jenny
