@thisismarilynb Graduating to getting around with a cane is an accomplishment! As we have all heard before, "baby steps". And this goes for everything in our lives, right? It's hard to accept that we cannot simply snap our fingers and have things go back to a sense of normal. It is all a process, much like you are learning about your hip replcement. Gently, I am here to remind you that it is all a journey that we each have not been on before. And when there are multiple factors going at the same time, it can be overwhelming.

I have followed your posts, and am inspired by you. You have such a strength, and also not afraid to show your weakness. That is healthy, believe me! It might not seem so, but there are others reading your words, nodding their heads, finding common ground and gathering their own strength, knowing you have done it/are doing it, and so can they! I for one, look forward to continued reading about your journey of recovery, both physical and emotional. I care about you, as do many, and want nothing but the best.
