    I laughed out loud about the penguin walk. My daughters have been telling me that for a long time. Hopefully after the revision on June 3rd I will have full use of left leg. After that, on to the right hip. My surgeon and I decided to do the left side revision first so I could climb stairs and get in car before the right thr left me without a good leg to stand on. I go for pre-op testing tomorrow.

      I think you are brave Evelyn going for a second hip op after needing a revision on the first one. Good luck with your op.
