Thank you so much for all the info and for replying. It feels like a lonely life out here sometimes when I try telling people about what’s going on with me and the fact that I don’t have a hip anymore, so thank you for reaching out. It is very much appreciated.

Most people I tell can't even imagine it. It would be much easier for them to understand that my leg got amputated. Then the next hurdle is they can't understand why I'm not getting another hip -- because I'm 59 and I was walking just fine before the surgery. It's all just so complicated, how we each got to this place, and it is isolating, so I'm grateful we could meet here. Someone mentioned they are walking but are in excruciating pain. Can we talk pain control? I've never been on so much pain medication in my life and it worries me!!
