I would have never guessed!

What is THR?

Yes. Sorry. THR = total hip replacement. Left hip was fine, right had degenerated to a point where I had no range of motion. I was essentially in a wheelchair at age 49. Orthopedic surgeon said it probably was a congenital defect. My oldest sister also had issues with her right hip joint.

Isn’t it wonderful that the hospital has spare parts?? I’m thrilled with my left knee. No pain, no limping, it’s great.

At 49, you could have been stuck in that wheelchair the rest of your life. But a new hip put you back on your feet! It may not be perfect, but it sure beats what you had. Even if you have to get a second surgery, it still beats being in a wheelchair.

And you are still a dynamo.

(Both of you!)

After it healed and I was done with physical therapy I would walk at a brisk pace at work. People would ask me why I was walking so fast and I answered "Because I CAN!"

Aw, shucks. Thank you.

No fencing updates this weekend, had to take care of the steps.

While sanding:

After staining:

I have kept stair treads on the right side, might account for the difference in color.

Then I stained one side and part of the back of our big shed. Whew.

Today after church and cooking dinner I felt too tired to do much in the yard. Sometimes I just push, but it didn't happen. I felt wore out.

Maybe it was the time change...

We do have to take a Sunday afternoon nap time……..

Still here, just nothing new on the fencing front.
