		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s already been a year since my total hip replacement at Hospital for Special Surgery. The hip itself feels great.

He said that I looked great, and that I can end physical therapy when my authorization expires. He said that my continued recovery is now all up to me.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a month since I had my total hip replacement. For the most part things have been progressing slowly, but they are definitely moving in the right direction.

In this photo, you can see the FVFG incision extend down the leg underneath the THR incision.
