1st full day without the aid of a walking stick since hip surgery...VERY happy!...but VERY tired.

A day at an orchid show

Revelling in the beauty of these flowers...inspiration is everywhere.

Makes me want to get into the studio even more!

Seven days since my last post, and although hip recovery progress is going well, I am feeling very depressed.

I have all but stopped pain meds, maybe that is it?

Or more likely is that although my rehab is going well, I am still unable to take on any 'real' work in the studio, and I think this it the reason for my malaise.

I am also relying on my walking stick a lot, as I am not confident walking any distance without it, and I am scared of being bumped in crowds.

I am sure things will get better soon.

1st Hip Assessment done by the surgeon, and he is really pleased.

He said I was about 1 month ahead of where I should be in my recovery and rehab...I am happy.
