You have no idea how your words make me feel. I needed some impetus to go to the mailbox to check the mail and because of you I have it. Thank you more than any words of mine can say. I have my last physical therapy appointment on Friday. However my therapist thinks I need more so she is going to make that happen. I may have a few weeks of lapse, but then there will be more therapy. The ultimate goal is to walk normally. I have been told this could take a year or more. Because I am alone, I check in with my sister every day. So that is what life has become now. Check in every day to let her know nothing bad has happened. I have to accustom myself to this new way of life. Just one day at a time.

@thisismarilynb Awww, thanks.
So good to hear your PT lady will make it happen to get you additional sessions! Even if there is a lapse of a couple weeks, make sure she gives you some pointers what to do at home, okay? I haven't had a joint replacement, but if there is a warm water therapy pool like at a YMCA or such, will that help doing exercises? Our hips take a lot of wear and tear on them, definitely! Your sis is lucky!
