Each day I find that I have a little more energy. A little less pain and more endurance. I can feel that the more I do and push the more my body is responding. Going up and down stairs is getting easier, but I still really have to watch my step. One wrong move and its curtains batman.
Beautiful day in Half Moon Bay today, the wind is up so the kite surfing will be on.
thanks,jeff

Hey Jeff,
ReplyDeleteI am 6 months into recovery from a full hip replacement. Old ski racing injury 24 years ago when I dislocated my hip but shredded cartridge that they didn't check for back then and ground it down with a life of hammering. You'll be fully back sooner than you think. hiking mountain trails at 6 weeks(1500ft climbs), I was skiing (groomers) at 2 months, surfing in Bali at 3 months (still could feel the "load" of a bottom turn...and getting to my feet quick was not always there), skiing/snowboarding double black diamonds at 4 months (not the same speed but comfortably back in the terrain), 5 months surfing Cloudbreak, 6 months and running at speed with no issues. Number one advice that got me moving well (besides all the rehab and standard exercise) - do yoga! All the standing poses and movements will get your stabilizers re-firing. The big lever muscles come back real quick - but the abductors they cut and the small stabilizers really come back as you do lots of fine balance work...and as you get able to move after 6 weeks start in on the yoga. For now - try to always just stand on the bad leg while you are up or hanging out. When you lean on a wall - do it on the bad leg. just get those channels of nerve/muscle feedback refiring constantly dude!
