I take it the rehab is going well.

I think its going ok. A bit slow for my taste. But I guess i can't complain only being 2 weeks out. I am walking just fine. A bit of a limp.

Sounds like it's going well indeed!

I'm glad it's going well, we get out of it what we put in. That being said I had my right hip replaced 7/21 and I'm still in therapy 3 days a week plus work fulltime. My hip flexor(?)muscle is still weak so I limp still but it's better and steps are tough especially if I try to step up with the right leg. I'm riding the bike at pt 25min 6 miles and have 20lbs of ankle weights on for leg exercises but only 7-1/2lbs for straight leg raises(very tough). Hopefully soon I'll be done with it.

You probably get around better than I do Caz, and there isn't anything wrong with me other than being out of shape.

I walked 60 minutes on the treadmill today, made it about 2.7 miles IIRC. I used to do 3.3 miles an hour with no trouble. I just gotta work back into it.

I am doing physical therapy on my own daily with the excercise the PT gave me, I am doing a minimum of 5 miles a day on the excercise bike and walking slowly on a treadmill for a mile.

If you think a pear is a shape than I'm doing real well <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />, I've always been heavy but healthy and worked hard. These 3 surgeries definitely have me feeling older than my 47 years.

Let's just say that I'm a really big pear LOL. I'm trying to cut back and lose some weight, but I've got a LONG way to go.

My biggest problem right now is keeping the weight off so my uniforms and gunbelt still fit.

I did pt on my own until I could drive and was doing it twice a day every day, I had my left hip done 5 months before the right and healed alot quicker, I walked the night of surgery and was one a bike the day after and never really looked back. I don't know why but for some reason this time the muscle isn't strengthening as quickly or not as I can tell.

I can't ride the stationary bike for long, hurts my back too bad. About all I can do cardio wise is the treadmill and swimming.
