I had a total hip replacement,so had to do some relearning to walk. Then fell and cracked the bone, So I was on a walker for 2 months instead of one month. Just this last Friday, I "graduated" to a cane. My therapy now includes a treadmill. Did 5 minutes at 1 mile per hour,(yes it's slow, but a start). The therapists said that I did great, especially with all I'd been thru. Looking forward to gettting better and walking faster and longer. Before the surgery, I almost had to drag the leg along. Worst hip the Dr. had seen in 4-5 years!
