No change…
I do not feel as though I have made any improvements in the past few months. I have better mobility and less pain than just before the operations. But probably not much less than, say, about 10-12 months before.  Hopefully, as a result of the surgeries I will not get much worse anytime soon, as the bones seem to be fitting together better now. I suspect that my right side should be OK for possibly several decades but my left will likely require a total replacement before retirement age. :-( There just isn’t all that much cartillage left, particularly on my left side. There is going to be pain no matter what I do, at least until I get a replacement. Hopefully there is more I can do and my condition will somehow improve.
