Just back from my first physio.

In terms of progress, I am at the very top end of anyone who is only two weeks post-total hip replacement. Problem is that I might be pushing myself too hard too fast.

Got a few new exercises. Cannot increase time or resistance on the bike any time soon. Also, I must use the cane.

So, overall a very good report. Except the part about using the cane caca.

did they say how often you have to go in for a alignment and lube? :)

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.

There's a new commercial I've seen on TV over the past week or so. A man is sitting at a bar, asks the bartender to be filled up with another drink. The bartender slides a filled glass down toward him. The man takes it. It is filled with cold... ranch dressing. The man thanks the bartender, and proceeds to dip/eat a chicken wing, complete with slobbering onto beard visual and slurping sound effects.
I realize what the advertisers are trying to get at...that the dressing is so good, some people really really love it. But they succeeded in turning me off of the product they are trying to sell, and I don't think that was their intention. 🤢

Only one other time has poor marketing choices turned me off of a product for life. A Skittles commercial years ago, something about chicken pox (??), I have never bought any sense.

Tip: When you're selling a product that is edible, don't kill appetites when you promote it. Just saying.

Yeah, I’m a little nauseated just reading about it.
Food in a beard grosses me out.

That's Skittle pox and from what they said, I understand, it's not contagious.

I knew from the get-go where they were going with the message, but what in the actual heck?!? 🤮

They certainly didn't sell me on the concept of no preservatives. This rejection of the process that keeps our food fresh longer just doesn't make sense to me anymore then wandering around with a 55 gal. drum of water to remain hydrated when we hardly flex a muscle all day long. It's a wonder we don't drown internally. We invented all that stuff to help prevent food related illnesses and the proof is in the fact that we are all living longer and healthier lives. So now all of a sudden going back to the 1700's is the thing to do. Humans are not all that bright.
