I'm 'cautiously optimistic'; so long as I'm careful about angles, and remember not to lock my damned knees when I walk, I'm now able to navigate without the cane. The left hip, where the arthritis is strongest, is twinging more than the right knee, which I consider -very- good. I'm being careful, almost paranoid, but the hopes that got dashed last week may well survive and prosper anyway. There still is some discomfort. If the leg stays in one position for more than about 20 minutes, the knee twangs my nerves when I go to make it move again. But that's considerably better than it was a week ago. Go me. :)

In other news, the last of my Rozen Maiden is rolling hot. Somehow I ended up with episodes 1 thru 6, 11 & 12, without the 7 - 10 range. Episode 10, the last one I'm missing, is running nicely. Squeee! *bouncebouncebounce*

And I quite gleefully furthered the wicked causes of Rock & Roll last night by introducing another friend to Vinnie Vincent Invasion, from the late 1980's. I wish Vinnie hadn't completely vanished; he's an excellent guitarist, and it's a shame he's apparently not performing anymore. The first album from VVI also featured the excellent vocals of Robert Fleischman, the former writer/vocalist best known for his stellar work on Journey's Infinity album. "Wheel in the Sky", "Anytime", and "Winds of March" are all his work.

At any rater, that's about all I've got for the moment.
