My First "John Wayne" Moment - A True Sign of Getting Old?

The news this morning has hit a  depressing milestone for me.   For goodness sake - the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, if thought about for any length of time with even minimal intelligence, should be enough to shut down anyone's sanity all on it's own!   Never mind the other tidbits all the tv stations have thrown out for nibbling on!  So I wildly punch the remote, hoping for some hidden pearl.  A 10 year old antique roadshow? An arts documentary? Some religious, historical, conspiracy threaded piece of fluff?

Hip Replacement Update from a Vintage Cyborg Old Broad

Figured I better play a bit of catch up here. About one month since surgery and 3 weeks since leaving hospital. Just had my last in home therapy session - one step finished!! Start out patient therapy this week and am looking forward to that. If nothing else, it will get me out of the house 2 or 3 times a week!!


The hip replacement appears to have gone well - so far so good. My delay in recovery time is not from the hip but from having to repair damage done to nerves and muscle by the hip being bad for so long.
