of people love and adore you.
and again, good for you for listening to your body, and knowing something was wrong. even good doctors can assume that they have it right - but only you know your body. i can't imagine how you managed these last weeks! wow.
oh ouch!!! my mother-in-law and mother have each had a hip replacement surgery and it is a much longer recovery than just 6 weeks, more like 6 months. but then you are younger so it may be faster for you.
i hope you heal well and quickly. sending you lots of thoughts and prayers.
perhaps i missed a post or two after the fallen log debacle,
