Hello, my dear friends. I want to apologize and explain the spottiness of the Photo a Week Challenges lately. In October, I started having significant pain in my right hip. At first, we thought it was a pinched nerve or maybe my Sciatica. After working with our chiropractor for a couple of months, it was getting worse instead of better, and he recommended seeing our regular doctor and getting x-rays. Turns out, I have a genetic issue with my hips, and I will be having hip surgery in a couple of weeks. Dealing with the pain and all that goes with it has limited my activities significantly (matching the pain in the hip). As a result, I have been taking fewer photos and getting online less. Sitting at a computer is one of the activities that brings on the pain, so I have to limit my time at the keyboard.
Once I have fully recovered from the surgery, the challenges hopefully will again come fast and furiously. In the meantime, keep taking lots of wonderful photos and sharing them with all of us.

I’m keeping my finger’s crossed about the surgery. Take the time you need to heal and get well!
The bad news – you are in pain despite working hard to address it. The good news – you now know what’s causing the problem and how to fix it. Wishing you an easy surgery and a fast recovery.
Thinking of you….
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Nancy. Take care 🙂
The surgery has been moved to April 5. I posted because I’m a little tired of waiting for it, but I will be back full-time a few weeks after. Thanks!
Oh Nancy so sorry to hear you are in pain.. I know what that pain is like.. I’ve had both hips replaced. Take it easy for the first 3 months and it won’t be long before you are back on your feet and in full swing. Take care.. hope the surgery went OK for you xx
I’m now two weeks post-op, and everything is going well. The surgeon and physical therapist are both very happy with my progress. Thanks!
So pleased to hear everything if going well xx. Take care xx
