I loved reading your story and determination to make the best of life. I am 72 and also living without a hip for the past 2 years and work daily towards my goal of walking with just one cane one day. Keep up the great job you are doing an God Bless You!!!

Hi Cindy. Thank you for replying. I know you have suffered much. This is a tough thing to get through. Has your femur moved up to your ilium bone? I’m struggling with that. Thanks

Cindy and Ricky,
My journey has been 3 yrs so far. I've gone from bed , couldn't do a thing, to where I'm at today. I know it's very painful and we all struggle. I've fell a few times, periods of nausea due to my strong antibiotics.
With that said, don't give up! I'm now walking with one forearm crutch. Much better at keeping you balanced. Got my set from Amazon.
Prayers for pain relief and guidance. Faith
