Going Under the Knife

[wonderpony]

I am already on the PT. I had my first pre-op PT last week, and have another one this Friday. My first post-op PT is scheduled as well. We are also working on dealing with the compensation issues on my left side from walking weirdly for so long. I had no idea that my quads were so weak!

9 years after my THR I still incorporate my PT into my yoga/stretch routine. I've been slacking the last few months and feeling it, started back up and feel that too lol!

Hope all goes well WP

It's crazy, but I don't hurt, yet, other than my throat from the anesthesiaI have not yet taken anything. The lidocaine has probably worn off, according to my surgeon. I only used the crutches in the hospital because the nurse made me use them when I had to go to the bathroom. I am a huge fan of the cold therapy machine. I see us being bffs for a week.

That’s awesome but don’t rush it. You’ll be back at full speed soon enough

Horse people are not very good at doing nothing.

I have been cleared to go for short walks. That will keep me sane. After I had my L1 fused after a fall off a horse, I took short walks and very gradually increased the distance. I plan on doing something similar.

I know. That’s why I mentioned it. Sounds like you’ve got it under control
