My first blog in over two weeks.  Metal hip replacement (they call it a "revision") does intefere with life as we know it.  But the surgery was very successful, I did rehab for 10 days, and now am home, really happy about it, and anxious to get busy on the home physical therapy to get back as close to mormal, and as quickly as I can.
Desperate to use a camera, I walked out into the yard and shot a few shots, and here they are.
