More Metal

After tests it was clear that the chemo had reduced and confined my bone cancer. It was also clear that my femur was coming apart. The surgery team agreed to replace my femur with a metal "bone." During the 10-hr surgery they replaced the femur, my aging knee and made my hip socket metal friendly.

I had to learn to walk, dress and bath again. Fortunately using a walker after the first surgery made my upper body and arms strong although lacking stamina.

My husband stayed with me at the hospital almost the whole time and a few friends were able to visit :>

I was in for a month.
