    That's great,Mary don't over do it but it's a great experience.

    feels good to use your new hip finally.

    Thats great Mary. As time goes by & you do even more you may find your hip will ache somewhat. This is quite normal you're just running it in like we used to with new cars. Other parts ache because they have not been used much of late. Take each day as it comes.
