Your thoughts reflect my own completely. I, too, feel lonely and isolated, especially since I have lost most of my friends and family. I'm 81, but age isn't important, really. Mainly I read, watch TV or spend time on the internet. The problem is that I'm always alone so life hardly seems worth living. Like you, I just try to get through the day. I live in SW Florida, but no longer go for walks on the beach because of back problems. I'm sorry you had to go through a hip replacement by yourself. That must have been very difficult. Take care.

Today I had my first appointment with a therapist. We talked mainly about what I want to achieve. Don't really know yet. He sees patients twice a month. So I have another appointment coming up. So far I am underwhelmed. But I do have to admit I have never had therapy before and maybe this is how it starts.
I am happy to say my hip is definitely and finally getting better. Hope to start walking outside soon. However I am going to use the walker on the concrete because it is too easy to fall.
Thank you all for your support.
