    Bilateral THR Just had bilateral THR

    Thanks Layla. All is well. Completely back at it and better than expected at month 4. Able to completely hike, do stairs, etc. with no issues at all. By the way, I take the stairs now instead of the elevator. Love it!

    Thanks Layla. I’m doing great at this point. No pain and I am able to get around without a limp. Was able to get up to Yosemite last week for another hike. I now take the stairs at work and that is such a great feeling. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement along the way….

    Today was my first real test of my two new shiny hips. We went to Sequoia National Park and we did a 5 mile hike through all of the redwoods. Truly amazing experience if you haven’t ever done it! Amazing feeling being able to do it without pain.

    Thanks everyone for your encouragement. I am doing better and better every day. Everything seems to be on track. I am able to get around really well, but I always proceed with caution, but slightly push the limits to help me continue with my progress. My next surgeon check in is next week. My...

    Bilateral THR Just had bilateral THR

    Ok….so first day back to work went great. I took it easy today, but managed to get 1.6 miles in and was able to take 2 flights of stairs over the course of the day.

    Bilateral THR Just had bilateral THR

    I’m doing really well. The first week was the most challenging, but I stuck to the rest, walk, ice, elevate routine. My edema was the most in the first week, but was much better in week 2. I stuck to the exercises in bed on week one, and used my walker to get around and took my pain meds before...
