Hi all...I promised pics so here's the first round!! These were taken after a full night of teaching. I will try to update occasionally with more!

Just a little dancer pic...nothing special.


This shows how far I've come...before the surgery I could barely sit with my legs a 45 degree angle!


And of course my signature pose!! My replaced hip is the leg that is up in the air!! The next time I take this I won't have to hold onto anything...

Shug- you rock baby!

I just wanna be able to go and take my 80 pound weimaraner for a walk without worrying about hurting.... I want to walk around the campgrounds (we do a lot of camping in the summer...) and enjoy the scenery! Last year I was a prisoner at the campsite...

I keep looking at those pictures and I'm captivated by that great big SMILE!!!

Triumph - victory - freedom - success! Says it all - and more!

Yay! I'm a sticky! haha...

I have a long day of dancing on Saturday...one of the choreographers for the Knicks City Dancers has been working with our kids and I'll be dancing with him for 6 hours!! If I'm not too disgusting perhaps there will be more pics since i'll be all warmed up...

Wow, that is simply amazing. I have been scared that my new hip might dislocate if I did something too strenuous. I guess once we heal our hips are pretty strong. Congratulations on your recovery!
