Tomorrow (Wednesday) is a milestone. It will be two weeks since my surgery. Nurse Claudie will be coming in the morning to remove the 73 staples from my incision (we counted them). Each staple will be removed with a staple remover–not unlike the ones we use at the office. On Thursday, the physiotherapist will come to the house and give me a new exercise routine, and then after Friday, I can stop wearing compression stockings. So, life is gradually becoming more normal, and I’m feeling a bit stronger every day.
I’m very pleased with the new hip. It already feels better than the last one ever felt. Maybe it’s the titanium. My last hip was stainless steel, and I think titanium agrees with me.
I found a YouTube video of Steve Carell on the David Letterman Show talking about his hip replacement. You might find it amusing.

Looking forward to seeing you doing some leg lifts like Steve does!

I’ll be glad to show you some leg lifts, Stella. My physiotherapist is coming to the house tomorrow, and leg lifts will be part of the program.

Hello Ron. With titanium being such a strong element, you are very well equipped to whip votes for the Liberals in the House of Commons. Justin could use your help. Clearly I’d vote for you.

Hi Richard, I don’t know if titanium alone would get me elected. But it’s nice to know that I’d have at least two votes–yours and mine.
