Guest guest Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Hello everyone, Just a check in with all the DeSmet surfacers of 4/27/04 & 28th. According to my wife,PT and friends I am doing great. I have dropped the cane 3 days ago with just a slight limp when I don't concentrate on walking, old habits and weak muscle memory. Am working out everyday 1 hour in the wt. room an hour in the pool and then lots of doggie walks. PT 2 times a week and massage 1 time a week. Feeling stronger everyday and have even jogged all of 50ft a start. Still wake up alot to put a pillow between my leg when sleeping on non-operated side. Hard to seat a long time on operated side when driving. Got rid of raised toilet seat , but still cannot get my sock on without some acrobatics or cut my nails. Overall I feel really good and have refered a number of people to this and other resurfaing sites. It is amazing how many people don't know about there options when it comes to there hips. I hope to go back to work as a firefighter at about 10.5 weeks, but I will have to pass a physical agility prior, I am trying to talk my PT in letting go back and show them I can do it. Still minding my 90 degree rule for another 1.5 weeks I should be ok. Thanks to all on this site and I will be happy to answer anyones questions if they have them.
