Well, finally after 4 months of doctors & painful tests, I need a hip replacement.  Scheduled for 9/3/13 at Upper Chesapeake Hospital.  It gets more painful as the days go by, so can't wait until it is done and over with. Before then I have a lot of things to do in preparation,  orientation, tests, doctor appointment, medication etc. 

All I want is to be able to do the things I did before all this started.  Like shop, church, trips, meetings etc. I'm not asking for much am I!!?  My 3 Sons will be here for the surgery and to help me so hope I can come home instead of going to rehab.

Oh, I do have a new great granddaughter now.
