100th Post!! 🎉🎉🎉

I may not have an audience, but damn it, I have words and memes!

I logged on with one more post-op update - I used my favorite cane for the first time since surgery yesterday, a single-point offset-handle aluminum model that's engraved so it looks like it's covered in shiny dragon scales. When my hip joint is fully functional, my left leg is my "strong leg" thanks to my balance issues and the foot drop in my right leg caused by the spinal cord injury. Which means that when I'm supporting my right leg, I use the cane on my left side. And when you're using a cane for support, you size the cane so the handle sits at your hip. I grab my cane yesterday, and... had to adjust it up a full notch to fit my new leg length. Damn!

I should probably get re-measured. I lost an inch when I lost the disc at L5S1, I wonder if I regained a bit with the new hip. We're talking between 5'10" and 5'11", so I'm not exactly talking short and shorter here...

I then took my longer cane to do a little light grocery shopping, where I walked the perimeter of both Meijer and Aldi with no pain issues! I haven't been grocery shopping in months!
