big announcement

I just thought I'd let you in on the latest big event in my life. I probably should have already told you but I was trying to keep it low key and in so doing almost didn't tell anyone, now I kinda wish I had told people b/c I'm being admonished for not doing so.

This may be a shock, but I'm HITCHED!!!!!! Her name is Polly Tita Stryker! Cute
name huh?

Yep as of this past Thursday, Oct 28, we are connected like one being! Like pieces of the same machine working together! Or like pieces of a puzzle!

I mean its like we are joined at the hip. We are a developing a strong but flexible relationship. After we met, cementing the relationship and making it permanent was just the right thing to do. So far I'm very happy and pray it will last all of my remaining days!

Actually Polly is short for Polyethylene (my new hip socket) & Tita is actually Titanium (new ball on my femur) & is made by Stryker. This past Thursday morning between about 7:30am and 9am i got a new right hip! I came home last night (Oct 31st). The surgery has been way successful & I’m looking forward to getting fully healed and back to a life of mobility, something I've missed for a few years now.

I know Polly and I will be very happy together! And I won't ever call her the "old ball and chain." (since she's actually the old ball and socket!)

Anywho, sorry I didn't invite you to the big event, but it was standing room only anyhow. So now you know.

Oh and yes we were registered at the "I've fallen and I can't get up" store but that registration has expired. For the next few weeks we'll be registered at "Walkers R Us" and the "Hurry Cane" store.
