Thanks for the update.  Hope your healing process continues to go well.  Hip pain is bad.  Hard to find a good position to sit or lie.   Keep resting and healing!  :grouphug;

Hey all!
I am doing really well. The last couple of days I have been up and moving so much more! I can finally put a little bit of weight on my right leg and am now speeding around on my crutches at times. Making tentative plans for Halloween, and hopefully I will only need the cane by then! I am doing... moderately well on just one crutch, which helps the process, but its slow.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WELL WISHES AND THE GET BETTER SOONS!

Now if only I could stop loosing weight so they can find my dry weight again. dry weight before getting sick 78 kilos. weight as of leaving the center today after my extra run 71.9 kilos. Thats a big difference.crazy crazy times.

 :yahoo; (I really just like this lil guy!)
