Back in Action
I want to thank you for the great job on my hip replacement. It won't be 5 weeks until Thursday, and today I was able to do 26 minutes on the elliptical machine, 20 minute on the exercise ball, and I walked a little over a mile with one of my neighbors. I never expected to be able to exercise this way again or at least not this soon. I tried last week to jog a little on the treadmill and could not, but after today I may try again later this week. I'm still a little stiff when I walk up stairs or up a steep incline but that is better everyday and often if I don't think about what I am doing I'll walk up a few steps without a problem.
Wherever I go, anyone who knows I had my hip replaced is amazed at how much I can do and how fast I recovered. The physical therapist that came to the house asked for your name and number because they wanted to refer people to you. I was the first patient they had seen with minimal incision hip replacement.
