    Trust me I am tickled. Hopefully our states Covid numbers remain low, and the gyms stay open.

    Have a lovely fall as well! My brother and his wife spent the weekend in Wisconsin and sent beautiful fall color pics from that area. I love fall in the Upper Mid-West.

    @Mojo333 - Just to clarify - never frog kick, or only during the recovery period? I appreciate Nervous Nellie, because I don't want to go backward.

    Three month update (13 weeks) I no longer have any restrictions and am thankful for a continued good recovery. Started back in the gym two weeks ago, after spending many weeks walking. The cardio (treadmill and bikes) where easy, other than the need for more cardio strength. Free weight...

    Foot Lapidus bunionectomy preparation advice?

    Thank you @kayak59 for the update! I just scheduled today for November 24th. My surgeon's calendar is jammed with surgeries, and that was the earliest date, but it actually works out well in my schedule. I won't get the packet until 3 weeks prior to surgery, thankfully, I think I have most...

    @leejaa - I will keep a diary of my bunion surgery, as it has been difficult to find "what to expect", etc. Sadly, my understanding is that it is a more challenging recovery, as totally non-weight bearing for at least two weeks. :hairpulling: I do feel like if I get both feet fixed, hopefully...

    Foot Lapidus bunionectomy preparation advice?

    I need to get this procedure done on both of my bunions, but planning on starting with my left foot hopefully this fall. I am awaiting the surgical scheduler to call me. Thus far, my surgeon has told me that I would be non weight bearing for at least two weeks, so I have to figure out my...

    Thank you @Mojo333 - I will start a new thread on bunion surgery, as I know I am very interested in reading about other people's recovery. I am getting the surgery with an orthopedic surgeon. It isn't scheduled yet. Appreciate your feedback on swimming (even in a pool). I will be at least 3...

    @kayak59 - I don't know about this special scanner? Somewhere I read (maybe my doctor's packet) that they no longer give out cards saying I had a hip replacement. That TSA doesn't ask anymore. However, if I am always going to get "dinged" going through the metal one, does everyone volunteer...

    Thank you Elf1 - I am glad my friend did suggest that I re-think. The last thing I want is to get an infection.

    Two month update Thank you Layla, appreciate you checking in, and sending healing thoughts to all on the recovery side. I "graduated" from PT this week, although I scheduled a check-up in mid-September. I really liked my PT, especially the massages that really helped with my swelling...

    THR Upset at anterior scar

    Glad to hear you are on the other side of surgery, that is an important milestone. Wanted to pass along at least one woman (Lara Spencer) who has her pictured plastered over social media in a string bikini, one year after her hip replacement. Her scar (I believe she had an anterior) is...

    THR Living Alone?

    Welcome brisco6 and thank you @Mojo333 :) I had an outpatient surgery with a spinal, and my whole experience has been more positive than I imagined (e.g. very happy post surgery). I feel with all the demographic changes, more people will be addressing surgery as "single", and people on this...

    YES! :yes!: I was hesitant to take a look, and then disbelief that what I was seeing was really inside of me. I will join you in hoping it just stays in place and does it job for the rest of my life.
