Home from surgery now one foot in front of the other

I had total left hip replacement surgery last Saturday and got home Wednesday afternoon. I've had seven tough but good physical therapy sessions so far and the therapists are caring but tough like good coaches. I've been told regaining pain movement could take up to six months so it'll be one foot in front of other toward that destination. I understand this analogy because I've been a walker/runner most of my life but my running days are behind me.
