Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

Oh God who made me absolutely unique,

 

Help me to value more the Person You made Me to be.

The Status of The Hip:

1.  The whole process since Wednesday A.M. has been amazingly efficient and pain free (except when I forgot the pain med when moving from the hospital to the house).

2.  I can walk with a walker, fairly easily & every day more easily.

3.  I was told one hour of being up, one hour of rest.  So true.  After an hour sitting up, I am exhausted and can sleep an hour.  After a day of this, I am wiped out by 7:00. 

4.  Thanks for everything.
