Bionic Boomer

 I am now a Bionic Boomer, the hip replacment was yesterday. Still hurts but not as much as before the surgery. There also are no more snaps, crackles, pops
 or OUCHES due to bone grinding on bone. The doc said that there probably would be no pain after 2 weeks, maybe even after one week. I hope he was right. 
 
With my new hip and, with Skye my pooch, I am looking forward to, at first, taking short walks with Skye and working our way up to our personal dog walk record of 9 miles a day. Then if free to do so, I'd like to go to Madera  Canyon, AZ, with Skye and match my longest hike of about (as best I recall) 12 or 15 miles. Also I may plan another trip to South Dakota, Alaska or to parts, as of yet, unvisited by me and my son. Of course, my son is always welcome to come along on road trips with me. He is both a better driver and navigator than me.

All the best,
