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.

It's good to hear that your hip has improved. That's great news. You are wise to think ahead about using a walker when outside, and I hope you'll be out walking soon. As far as therapy, a lot depends on how you and the therapist connect. After my son died, I saw a therapist, a grief counselor, and I must say that I think she helped a lot. I liked her. It helps to express your feelings to someone who is objective, I think, so I hope your next appointment goes well. I already know what I want to achieve. I want to meet a few people like myself who need companionship and could get together occasionally to chat or have a cup of coffee or lunch. Perhaps I should have greater ambitions, but meeting a few nice people sounds like a good start to me.
