Well, I just ordered my second box of acupuncture needles, this time from ebay. I'm learning my way around this self acupuncture business. I'm doing my knee just about every other day and I THINK it's helping. I meditate as I do my needles and this gives me more benefit.

I've had a cane in my car since hip replacement going on 6 yrs ago and only used it with PT worker first week home for surgery. I haven't used it since, but keep it in my car. Yesterday, for bridge I had to park about a block from my friends place so got the cane and used it...it does help for longer distances. When I walked in with cane, my friends gave me a hand, clap hand...they've been pushing me to use it.
