Sorry I have been absent for the last 7 months. Frankly, the hip replacement was way harder than I was led to believe by the doctors, nurses, and frankly everyone.

The procedure was a snap. The recovery was way beyond expectations. I don't know, maybe it was because I have heart failure. Maybe it was because I have been so through much stuff since February of 2003.

I am really not sure. Maybe I have become a wimp. A weak, worn out, wimp.

I do know that the recovery took away my dignity, and that after 7 months, I still feel the artificial hip every day. The docs told me it would take six months and then come back and do the other.

Since I have this disease, I plan to give it twelve months and see how it is doing then.
