Passing For Normal

Condolences on your loss. Animals so quickly become family to us. But wow, yay you for making a positive change in your life - I know it's super hard sometimes to find the correct medication that will help solve an issue without causing more cascading problems in other arenas, so it's great that you have new meds that allow you to live your life in a better way!

As an adult-onset exercise fanatic, I approve of your daily walking! It all adds up and reinforces health pluses - exercise keeps your brain going, keeps your heart going, helps you lose weight and stress your joints less, sends blood flow to your tendons/ligaments/joints to keep them in good shape, etc. Hopefully the PT will help for your hips. I've found that a simple routine intended for runners to strengthen their hip girdle really helps me.
