2. Rudi’s recovery from hip replacement has been nothing short of miraculous. Seventeen days out from surgery and he’s gone from walker to crutches to cane to being told by his physical therapist to try to walk without his cane as much as he can.

We expect there will be some setbacks, but in the meantime we’ll take this.<\/p>\n
