feeling better

Steve has turned the corner and is feeling much better, after his hip replacement surgery on May 9th, hooray! Recovery took some time . . .

After his hip started feeling better, his knee on the same leg was bothering him, yikes. Maybe from favoring it before he realized he needed the replacement, or afterwards when he could not really get his knee in proper alignment because the hip was sore. But physical therapy fixed him up! He got different exercises to strengthen his knee, and ultrasound treatments, plus he started doing strengthening exercises at home with resistance bands. Three weeks after that started, I don't see him limping or wincing -yeeha! It is so nice to see him smile more ;O)
