I finally made it home after what became a nearly nine week stay at the hospital. Along the way another infection was averted, parts replaced and other non-joint related issues were found and some addressed.

I had a "clean out" along the way, and now I'm on Invanz for the next month. I haven't had PT outside the hospital yet, so I'm taking supervised walks around the house with my walker. There is hardly any pain, and my leg lengths seem perfectly even.

What I wasn't prepared for was how quickly I became deconditioned in the hospital. Fortunately being back home has done wonders. Nowhere to go but up from here.
