Hi, @ray666,
I got a huge chuckle over your description of the British murder mysteries ~ "perp-walked off to jail" ~ 😂🤣 I've not gotten into them even though there seems to be a plethora of options and I do watch PBS (no cable). My daughter really likes them, too ~ and as it happens she and her husband are on holiday in London (and then in Scotland for a few days -- plenty of crime stories originate there, too). I may need to enlarge my capacity to adapt to yet more criminal behavior - Ha!
Are you seeing a pt these days? I'm definitely noticing a decline in mobility since my pt stopped taking Medicare payments in January. Time to call for a new referral. I really hope your left hip/leg can respond to some kind of alternative to hip surgery. I'm no medical advisor but from my experience these surgeries may tend to complicate peripheral neuropathy.
Nonetheless, here's to a Terrific Tuesday!
Barb

Maintain positive mindset. Being negative doesn't help and could make symptoms worse.
Hi, Barb (@bjk3)
You asked if I'm seeing a PT these days. Yes, and no. No, only because I'm between insurance allocations. My PT, whose name is Serena, was hoping we'd restart twice-weekly meetings next week. I phoned Serena only this morning to ask if we could hold off restarting for a few weeks. For one thing, my partner and I will not finish our move until mid-month. For another thing, I'll be seeing the orthopedic doc this coming Wednesday. I'm hoping he'll tell me to quit moving 10-ton boxes. 🙂 I'm hoping he'll NOT say, "Mmm, Ray, this is serious." (I know I have arthritis in that hip. I've known that for years. I'm reasonably sure last weekend's added ache was the result of trying to move too much, too quickly. My hip till aches, but not like it did last weekend.)
I never would have guessed I'd be such a sucker for British murder mysteries. It began with the Inspector Langley Mysteries, followed by Shetland, and now Vera. I've always known I have an addictive personality, but this is ridiculous! 🙂
Cheers!

My wife and I love the British murder mysteries! Thanks to "closed caption" we can actually understand them now! Years ago I started a business in London for a company I was working for at the time. I spent the next few years visiting London, hiring personnel and expanding the business. Loved the people! However it took me a little time to understand certain dialects! No closed captions in conversations!!
PT really helped me with a spine problem I had a few years ago. So much so that I was able to cancel my surgery. When I had my hip replaced a little over a year ago I asked my Ortho Doc for a PT referral. He said I didn't need it! He said just "Walk, Walk, Walk." Well my permanent residence is in Minnesota and this was January with the temperature at the time below zero and every walkway or sidewalk had ice or snow on it! And, it would be this way for a few months!
I just looked at him and said, in a heavy Norwegian accent, you mean Walk, Slip, Fall, and come back to you for my other hip! He didn't laugh but the nurses did!!
