2012-04 Hip Surgery

April 2012 was the month of the hip. Paula had replacement surgery on April 2 and spent the month trying to recuperate. The first few weeks were miserable and evidence that there is a conspiracy among those who've had the surgery to dupe candidates into thinking that this is easy. The next few weeks have been trying to manage pain and expectations. Paula can walk without a walker or crutches, drive, get around to support grandchildren, but she's a long way from being able to leap a short building with a running jump. In fact, jumping at all seems out of the question.
