Hi Rosemary, hope you are feeling better, I do take longer to heal myself since the transplant the doctors tell me the pain will ease up eventually but all I can do is wait exercising at the YMCA helps I find and as long as I don't sit for a long time or stand for a long time it's not do bad the pain is better when I'm moving sleeping is the hardest for me as I can't straighten my right leg out all the way it is always slightly bent even when I walk which is only about 10minutes at a time the walking I mean it's not easy but I won't and don't give up on myself I hope to be able to walk at least 10 thousand steps again some day but not up or down hill as I can't even do stairs except for one step at a time. It wouldn't be do bad but I'm not allowed to live by myself now because of the risk of falling my transplant team won't let me so I have been staying with a friend since the accident and my friend drives me crazy sometimes as always telling me what I can and cannot do but I have to admit that I have pushed myself to far a couple of times and severely over did things when my body isn't ready for 2 to 3 hour standing especially in a line. So I guess my friend has the right to boss me around for my own good. Take care
Always glinda
