This is Friday, the day I came home from the hospital. They want you to do stairs on a new hip for a single-hip replacement using the good leg to post up and down. A sturdy stair rail and upper body strength are key.

I had friends stay overnight with me the first 2 days after I returned. Five days after surgery, I visited Soja Mindbody Studio at their new location in Berkeley for their opening weekend. One of the other students very kindly drove me there and back. I spent about 2-3 hours there, and that was about right. I was very easily tired at this point.
