Thank you all for your kind words.
I am in week 3 now and moving along. I went from walker, back to my original sticks and now on a cane. I still need the sticks for steps but I am progressing. I was hoping to be futher along than I am, but that is due to limited rehab. I had to wait until I could drive to do the outpatient rehab which was this past Monday, Aug 25. I was able to exercise at home but was limited (very small house on a hill). I weaned myself off the crutches and now drive. It will speed thing up. Hopefully I will be camping soon. My goal is end of Sept. for camping and return to work.
I am not yet saying how glad I am I did it but I do look forward to saying it.

Hey! Good to hear from you!

End of September sounds reasonable. Not too early, not too long.

The phrase "one step at a time" makes alot of sense here. Slow and steady wins the race (especially after a major surgery).

You sound like you are making good progress. Thank you for the update.
