    THR Recovery from RTHR October 4

    My last post talked so much about the seemingly nutty exercises my OS wants me to do that I forgot to include a very good development -- a 20-minute walk using only one crutch! I had used two crutches for all my walks before that, and had only used one crutch for short distances around the...

    THR Recovery from RTHR October 4

    Thanks everyone for your comments! I'm not keen on the figure 4 stretch and it's very helpful to hear that more experienced hippies don't like it either. It's in their printed instructions for the 2 week postop visit but I'm not going to do it, for now anyway. I did try it once and REALLY...

    THR 2 weeks out from 2nd THR

    Thanks for the advice about DRH and timing discharge from hospital. I think Goodberry's soft ice cream is near DRH. Highly recommend if you're in the vicinity. I'm planning on rewarding myself with Goodberry's on the way home.

    THR 2 weeks out from 2nd THR

    Glad to hear you are healing well. I'll be going to Duke Regional Hospital too, for R anterior THR on October 4. I don't want to hijack your thread, but may I ask what your experience at DRH was like? Thank you, and I hope you continue to recover well.
