Shiney and new
Mood:  cheeky

Well if you have braved the photo gallery of horror this will seem like an old black and white version of your favourite movie. Here is the star of the show my Birmingham Hip.  That's right folks all glorious #1.5 pounds of Cobalt Chrome! Notice also the lack of the lateral bone spur at the outside of the pelvic (acetabular) side. And this thing didn't set off any metal detectors at the airport. If I ever get the videos to post you'll be able to see me playing around with one of these at my final appointment before coming home. They're truly remarkable.

With that device in me I was able to complete my planned 1 mile walk (with trekking poles) Thursday, and a 1.5 mile walk with Amy Friday afternoon. All this two weeks and a day or two post-op. The range of motion exercises continue to bring good results, and with the walking activity I'm sleeping straight through 7-8 hours now. the leg swelling is almost completely gone and now the incision is starting that healing itchy thing still no redness or swelling of the incision even after a mile and a half (no ankle or knee swelling either). So praise God all is well.

And thank you for your prayers and support!

Over the top and flying BABY!!!!!!
