Update : had 6 week ck up , all xrays show solid implant, properly aligned with no issues . Now driving snd walking 8 blocks a day with cane. Go to pt 3 times a week going well.in addition to beaucoup exercises and stretch am doing two machines for 30 minutes . I am now able to sleep on both sides in a bed ,no longer limited to sleeping on my back .

Best of all that damned fissure that was intensly painful for 8 hrs a day has healed after botoxing and a 200 dollar salve that my damned insurance refused to pay ( bastards ��). So life is better . Doc says i can use my irons and wedges in the late summer , no silly stick till nect season tho . These reconstruction surgeries take longer to rehab than a first instance surgery But. The good news is i am on pace with the weekly goals for 7 weeks FOR FIRST INSTANCE SURGERIES in terms of what i am able to do .

so far so good ��

What's the old saying...getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative. Whether you know it or not, tackling your health issues with grace and gumption sets a great example for all your friends and family...including us. Every one of us will face something like what you are facing sooner or later. A win for you is a win for us!

Jimk you nailed it !! This is exactly why i post this stuff . I hope to help others realize that you just have to try your best to stay positive and do whatever is necessary to get through stuff and that age while an issue is not always an insurmontable barrier . You folks all have helped me tremendously with your support too .

for that i am extremely grateful !
