Exercise
I am continuing to do my set of three exercises (standing knee raises, standing hip abduction, standing hip extensions), 30 repetitions each, three times daily. You can see a diagram and description of these here: http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/booklet/view_report.cfm?Thread_ID=20&topcategory=Hip

Today I also tried some stationary bicycling -- a couple sessions of about 10 minutes, very light tension. My thigh felt kind of tight afterwards, so I popped a couple of Tylenol. Other than that, I'm pretty much off painkillers.

And this afternoon Kris took me downtown to walk around -- mailed a card with a flipbook in it to one of my nephews, went to the library, checked out House of Aromas (great blended mocha drinks, lots of students with laptops), and the pet store with the many cats (most of them sleeping).

The temp was up to 50 or so -- I am so incredibly lucky to have such great weather, so that I can take my recover walks outside. Getting actual sun on my face, smelling fresh air -- makes the exercise a reward in itself.
