Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 > Hi ALan > there are also people like me who are not recovering as fast as these people playing tennis at 6 or 8 weeks or gardening at 5 weeks etc! I am at 4 months and the max I can walk is 30 minutes and that is pushing it. I am very very gradually improving but it is no where I thought I would be at this time! > Sunita Hi Sunita, I am glad you are improving. Thats the main point. May I ask - How old are you? What was your diagnosis? and What was your level of activity prior to surgery. They all figure into recovery time. Thanks, Dr. Mark > where are " the others?
