    Surgery update

    Well I am six weeks out from surgery now. I saw my doctor today and he said I no longer had to use the sling and that I could go back to driving. He said I was healing very well for a woman my age (60 1/2). I don't have to go back to therapy for six weeks when they will start strengthening...
