Just got home from a lengthy medical vacation. On January 15th this 85-year old suffered a clumsy fall in the house and fractured my right hip. Had surgery next day to repair the fracture with a half hip replacement procedure. In the hospital for four days, then to rehab at a nursing facility for two months. Physical and occupational therapy sessions almost every day. Finally the people in charge decided that I could survive living alone at home. While I didn't heartily agree with staying that long at the time, looking back I know that they were right. Now it's home care therapy for two weeks, but it's great to be back home. Clearly improving daily!

Welcome back, Follow the rules and stay on top of the surgery. My uncle didn't and was 2 months extra until he decided to make peace with the therapy. Jim

My mom had a hip replaced at 92 then later slipped on a throw rug and smashed her kneecap. She's still doing OK at 97.

Glad you are doing better. You just reminded me why it's important for me to slow down and take particular care to be careful.
