Getting Old and Surgery 

Surgery... Sooner or later,  it becomes a fact of life. And perhaps I'm better than most. Nothing life threatening,  but clearly involving quality of life. Five years ago, both knees, total replacement ten months apart. Both life changing for the better.  Now total hip replacement of of one hip. Hopefully also life changing for the better. 

Recovery seems to be better than that of the knees,  but still,  a recovery / physical therapy process. And once again is emotionally hard to rely on others to do what you were fully capable of doing yourself.  

All in all... Physically demanding and emotionally draining. 
Thank goodness I've got great support from my wife. 

Still, loosing interest in anything except getting better.
Creative thought fading. 
Tired, sleepy, wore out.
