    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...

    Surgery

    Happy to say surgery was a success. No problems. The hardest part to trying to do all the things I used to be able to do and can't at this point. But I am accomplishing more every day. Physical therapy is hard but I am getting through it. Three more weeks and I can take the sling off. Can't...
