    Hi!! wow that's amazing. I have been thinking about you lately! I'm right behind you at the 6 month mark and just this week really felt like I turned a corner. I had a set back a few months ago and pulled some muscles really bad in my quad. That was almost worse than the hip! But I'm back on...

    My Yoga Teacher always uses this mantra! I totally agree - both my doctor and PT said go, do what you can. don't don't do anything extreme (i.e. leg over head lol) listen to your body. I just started back this week at 8 weeks post THR. I go to a hot yoga style, she does 50 poses in 90 mins...
