New hip surgery is a distant memory and I am totally self sufficient again. I can put on both of my shoes and socks and walk long distances without a cane or other device for support.
It's been an interesting 4 weeks starting with sleeping in the recliner, having help putting on a sock and shoe, and being waited on hand and foot by DW, who forgot I have been her caretaker for the last 3 years. (LOL)
Our dog is grateful I am, once again, under his total control and can walk him about 4 times a day.
I am back to 10,000 steps per day and loving it in this cool winter weather here in south Texas.
