[Leica] They rebuilt me

[Peter Klein]

I got a new hip on Tuesday, after a roller coaster of uncertainty and three different surgery dates due to area hospital’s COVID overcrowding. Now, like some fine cameras and aircraft, I am partially made of titanium. I went home the next day. The hip is healing well. I can hobble around the house with a walker. More bothersome are the fatigue, and side effects from the post-op medications. 

Here is a suitably dramatic post-op selfie, and a nicely abstract instructional photo Katya took of the position I must frequently assume, with a side order of ice.  The strap is helps me lift up my leg when I get in or out of bed. It looks more suitable for lashing large items to a pickup truck.
