@lionness I only walked 3 blocks yesterday. I found out 4 blocks was too much. The owner of Paws Inn, who took Lily, Lily is now permanent at her boarding facility. She got everything transfered to be her dog. I wanted to go visit her before the surgery, Bobbi thought it would confuse Lily. Which I agree. She said I could visit her after my surgery. My vet said I should not go see her at all.I'm off the oxycoone and they still want me to get of Tramadol, I still hurt during the day, especially in the morning. I am going to cut down to every 4 hours today, it was every 3 hours before. I have been very depressed, didn't start getting depressed after my first-op visit to the surgeon. All my x-rays were ok, but if I'm not careful, since my bones are soft, I could pull out a screw or break a rod. Will continue to walk every day. Jeanie

@lilylaws I'm glad you cut down to 3 blocks .Talk to your Dr about the pain my goodness when I had my fracture the Dr didn't cut me down for 3 months then it was 4 now none to when I need it You be only been a little over a month. Your doing great in walking just listen to your body Love take care Linda
@lilypaws - Slow and steady wins, it's not a race, it's a journey! After my last hip repair, I started by walking to the end of the driveway, then the end of the block, etc...it took a long time before I was able to walk a mile, but because I was so careful, there were few setbacks. So keep listening to your body & you'll get there.
