Well I have made it two weeks post op. I've made some more progress since my last update. I've had three trips out of the house. First trip was last Thursday and I was out of house maybe 3 hours. I went to my new job to fill out paperwork. Then my husband I went to target and I had my first experience with a motorized cart. I was exhausted when I got home.
Then I went out again Saturday morning to grocery shop and after the trip around Meijer my hip was so stiff and sore that I had to stay in the car at Kroger. Then I actually went to dinner Saturday night but only lasted about two hours until I started to have pain. Today was my first day home without any support and it went well. I am able to shower on my own and take care of my own food. But I still am having to take pain meds every 3 hours and every time I try to go longer, I start having pain right at 3 hours. I go back to the doctor on Wednesday so hopefully the X-rays look good. Here is a picture of my scar at 2 weeks.
And here are my doggies that like to get in my way.

Sami, I am glad to hear that you are recovering so quickly. I plan to work from home for awhile so I can be around to help my daughter once she is released from the hospital. Lindsay's surgery with Dr. Scheid is one week from today. She refuses to look at any of the blogs or the HipChicks website. I think she would rather not get scared! She is 22. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow!
