Hello...I had girdlestone resection about 18 months ago and still walking with a walker and crutches for short distances. Can I ask how long before you walked unassisted? I would so love to get to that point. I can take maybe 5-10 steps unassisted, but it's pretty wobbly and I don't feel stable. I would love to talk more with you privately if you don't mind. I'm 70 and live in Michigan.......Cindy
