I don't do all the things I used to either; 'don't walk very gracefully,
either. 'Can't walk safely without a walker. BTW, you shoulda seen the
load of stuff I hauled outa Sam's on my mobility scooter coupla hours ago.
People wonder why I don't have that dinky little basket hanging on my
scooter tiller. (I first said just "tiller," then though I oughta insert
"scooter." ;<) ) Size of basket makes it nearly useless; basket is in the
way and is a nuisance - takes me only 30 seconds to assemble/disassemble the
other, 4 necessary parts of the scooter kept in trunk of the '87 300D.

That stuff scares the heck out of me. I am understandably concerned about
the wife's upcoming hip replacement surgery, as I know there will be a lot
of post operative pain, and she has a pretty low threshold for it.
I had a hip replaced about eight months ago. My feet got tangled in
a vine and I fell downhill, hitting the point of the hip on a rock.
Cracked off the ball at the top of the thigh bone. They said my bones
were good so they didn't have to do much to the pelvis, just put a sort of
ball joint with tent stake in the thigh bone. They went in from the side.
When I left the hospital I was given pain pills to take if needed. I
used them to help sleep at night for a couple days.
There wasn't much pain unless I tried to reach or bend too far. I
didn't have much strength to lift the leg but I could get around pretty
well with a walker as soon as I got home. A couple weeks and I graduated
to a cane. In a month I was driving my tractor again. I still don't walk
as gracefully as I once did but I do all the things I used to. I am 72.
