WHATS NEXT PART.1

I checked into Advocate Bro Menn hospital in Normal Il., at 6am, April 1st. My orthopedic surgeon, Dr J. Anthony Dustman did a total joint replacement on my right hip.
Everything went according to Hoyle, and late on Thursday afternoon, April 3rd I was discharged.
There is still considerable pain involved, however it is a different pain than what I'd been experiencing, and more importantly, a pain that will pass!
It is remarkable when you stop and really think about what was done to my body, and how really advanced medical science is today. And, as you can see from the photo, it was quite invasive.  My doctor tells me that if I follow his direction and do the required rehabilitative work, that in 12 weeks I can do just about any physical activity I choose.
