My doctor visit went well and I don't have to go back for 4 months. He prescribed a different pain pill to take at bedtime. I took one tonight, but it hasn't worked yet, so here I am, up again. Other than at night, I am having very little pain and don't have to use the cane or take pain pills during the day. He said the x-rays showed no hip problems, but some in the back, and some arthritis.

I had lost 3 1/2 pounds since my last visit.
