Yes, @bustrbrwn22 , it was something I had to push myself and pray about to get the gumption to do. But I did it. I am walking somewhat (not much) with a walker, the dear nurse practitioner called me before from my general doctor's office and kindly encouraged me to keep walking. I am seeing the surgeon's office next week and I'll let you know what he says.
Today the physical therapist came, spent about 15 minutes exercising me, watched me walk, and did some leg lifts with me. It's getting better.
The pain is a lot around my knee, I'm worried I will need surgery there after this is all over, it's not something I look forward to but I'll see as time goes on.
I couldn't avoid the hip surgery any more, life was getting very difficult with the pain in the hip area so it pushed me to get it done whether I liked it or not.
Thank you and take care.
