nothing new
Day 23: I continue to get better every day. I taught Karate again this evening. I didn’t do much of it myself. But I was able to do some punches and blocks from a relatively high stance (I realize, however, that my “high” stance is considered by many people to be “normal”). I have only a slight limp left and even that is probably not obvious to some people. I plan to go to the gym tomorrow for more stationary biking and on Thursday will visit the physical therapist again. I called the doctor’s office yesterday and today, asking if I could get scheduled for early Feb surgery on the other hip. I hope they get back to me soon. If he cannot do it until mid-February, I will probably have to postpone it until at least May, since I have some very major Karate activities planned for March (I am organizing the biggest gathering of Japan-trained westerners ever) and April (trip to Japan where I will bring up to 15 people with me).
