Can walking be accomplished without a hip or hip replacement?

Hello Sandra...I too am a retired nurse in Michigan, age 71 and nearly 2 years I've been without a left hip. How many years for you? I get around with crutches or walker and hoping to get to a cane someday and feel confident with it. Can I ask how long before you felt good with just a cane? I too have a bit of a shoe fettish....my husband glues soles we've cut off from other shoes onto my left shoe to even out my legs. He usually adds a flip flop in between the soles too for height and working pretty good for me. Wishing you continued wellness.....Cindy

Thanks for the tip on the shoes. It's expensive to have done. I've said I was going to try and do it myself. I'm going to give it a try. Good luck.
