Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Mo, Every one is different, but I personally could not have endured a 5 day training seminar at 10 days post op. Unless the meeting rooms have recliners, you can safely assume the seating will be average at best. I need to rest alot my second week, having had my leg torn off and re-installed. I'm a 44 year old construction worker who got in shape for surgery and everything. I need to take it somewhat easy my second week. We'll see what the others think.

It's not 10 days, it's 40 (she's being resurf-ed on June 1 and the seminar's on July 11). I don't know, not haing reached day 40 yet, but I suspect she could manage it. I'll defer to the more experienced hippies. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I would say " no " . In fact my first response is that you are crazy! I flew home from Heathrow to Vancouver, Canada about 2.5 weeks after my surgery and the flight was easier than the way over but still no picnic. Like others have said you need good chairs etc. I would suggest canceling the training course.

Training Centre is an hour on the plane and then an hour in a taxi away and would mean staying five nights in a hotel. Actual course is 9-5 and is about 10 min walk and up a flight of steps from hotel but there is disabled access I can arrange. Do you think I'll be fit -- I really really want to go on it? But I can't cancel it after the op as there'll be a fee... Cheers fellow hippies Mo xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
