For the last five weeks i’ve been taking it one step at a time. It was that long ago that I had my hip replaced. I won’t go into the boring details but it was caused by a defect that I was born with. Pain had been a part of my every day. The majority of the pain is gone and with some work i’m hoping to be pain free soon. Whenever you are recovering it feels never-ending. I thought I would be further along after five weeks. What i’m hearing is that I'm actually ahead of the game. No longer using a walker or cane, I am able to walk somewhat normally again. I know that it will be months before I am 100% and that is ok. It’s ok because it’s 100%. I’ve been living at 50% for so long, I don’t even know what that may feel like, but i’m excited to find out.
I wanted to capture an image that shows the progress I am making. Movement, one foot in front of the other. What this image also represents to me is the challenge, hard work and struggle that I have worked through. The last five weeks are a blur. The one thing i’ve been focusing on is putting one foot in front of the other. I will continue to do just that, not only physically but mentally. Moving on the next task and making plans for the ones after that.
One Step at a Time!
Until Tomorrow,
John
