Broken hip day 36
Can make coffee by rolling around the kitchen in my office chair, but it is annoying
Can *almost* lift the leg high enough to get it onto the bed without using my hands to lift it
6 more days until my no-weight-bearing time is over; hopefully they don't extend it; dr appt next week
