Day many more than last time ( around 88 )
   I start PT tomorrow.  The surgeon said that after the surgery I had I shouldn't be doing SLR or hip ABD until 3 months and maybe at 6 months I can do much more.
   I tried 2 more hikes which necessitated a lot of cane usage.  The problem is that I was awakened by the most god-awful burning of the median nerve from the armpit to the thumb and 3 fingers and couldn't find a position to alter it.  Wow!!!  Burnng, cold, numbness,and pain but if I was up with my arm by my side I was OK
   Going upstairs is better but requires forethought to engage stabilizing muscles.  Still not enough hip strength.  Still walk with a limp but much less so.
   It is painful to lie on my right side or sit in seats where the edge hits on my thigh.  The doctor said that was right where he cut the bone.  Oh boy
