Re: Hip Surgery - Wish me luck!!!!
Prayers for successful surgery and rapid rehab.
The only box you have to think outside of is the one you build around yourself.

Best wishes for a smooth recovery and a swift (but safe) return to the water!!

I'm pretty loopy, (a good thing for a rebreather diver!), but they tell me that the surgery went well! Believe it or not, PT was just here and I took my first couple of steps!

Re: Hip Surgery - Wish me luck!!!!
Of the four or so friends and family members who had the surgery, they all say it was one of their best decisions.
I'm sure you'll back to diving, basketball and everything else before you know.
All the best wishes from here... :queenliz:

Re: Hip Surgery - Wish me luck!!!!
They don't cut you any slack these days. They Doc told me the sooner they get you movin the less time it takes to heal! With hips and knees the joint is ready to use by the time they get you sewed back up! Amazing glue they use!John Rawlings wrote:I'm pretty loopy, (a good thing for a rebreather diver!), but they tell me that the surgery went well!

Re: Hip Surgery - Wish me luck!!!!
GREAT!
With my spine surgery I was out of bed and walking with assistance a few hours after surgery. Lots of other hip, knee types also treking their way to the toilet and the next day up and down the hall.
Keep at it and you WILL overcome.
