Ten days out from surgery I am rather discouraged. I don't have a feel yet for whether the procedure was successful, but I do know that my post-surgical pain, while initially better than the same time in November, is worse now--more limiting, with a sort of "sick" feeling that's hard to explain. And getting comfortable for a night's sleep has been one of the biggest challenges ever, just as great as following my initial hip replacements.

I was hoping that by tomorrow I'd be ready to get out and go to Easter services, but I'm still having trouble making it to the bathroom even with my walker. Oh well. God will always be God...Christ is risen whether I can join my church family to celebrate or not...

That's all the wallowing I will allow myself, at least for today. I'm grateful to have lots to keep my mind active when my legs still won't move. Lots of books, audiobooks, school planning, computer tutorials, learning how to use my iPhone, keeping touch with friends and family by email...what did invalids do before all this technology?
