Trip to the Doctor..............

Mixed bag. Hip great, I can start to put more than 75% of the weight on it, I can go to the pool, I can get on a tread mill, I can not get on a bike, yet. I have to go back in a month but I am done with crutches and walkers and can start to test the limits on the movement. Yeah...... I love Dr. Crutcher. He is a great guy. I told him that I was doing Bloomsday and he said that was a good goal. He did not even say "NO" to me today. I love that.

I also was able to see my new hip. Nice and shiny and very long..... I might take a digital camera next time to get a picture for the blog. The even better news is that the other hip does not seem to be the least bit upset and willing to work with the new one.

Then the other part. My INR is supposed to be between 2.0 and 3.5. We have zipped past that mark to hit 4.6..... Back to square one.....
Now they are sure I am going to bleed to death...... Oh well, no rat poison for a couple of days and then a normal person's dose.

This should be interesting......
