Thanks Laurie. I go to physical therapy twice a week to build up core strength and leg muscles. Last year at about this time, I was still sitting in a wheelchair, and i do my own shopping, and use the shopping cart as my walker. I had some massive surgery in January, and most of this was between my legs, and this causes to make every step hurt.

@lindes. Hi! I hear you. I was wheelchair-bound a year ago too. I've got Giant Cell Arteritis and it has sure laid me low for more than two years so far. I had two strokes during the first few months of it, and thus the wheelchair stint for a long time.
As you know from bitter experience, it takes such a long time for our bodies to heal after major surgery.
I can certainly sympathize with you on that score. I had reconstructive bladder/bowel surgery in 2010. Never spent such a painful summer of recovery, but the final result was worth it. I'm sure you'll feel much better as your body heals.
I'm glad to know you're getting physio to keep those parts well oiled and working!
Keep up the Good Fight! Warmest wishes,
Laurie
