THR Chris G's 2019 Recovery Thread

[Cgaem215]

Thank You! Quick update on my recovery. Overall I am feeling well, I still experience a little bit of quad pain and somewhat of a restless leg at night that disrupts sleep at times. I am walking for exercise and listening to my body for when I am overdoing it.

I returned to my office last week and worked each day but left early on my long day. I was a bit tired at the end of each day but felt pretty good much of the week. I have had a much easier time with the Left hip that I did last year with my right. Last year I did very intense physical therapy and did not have good results. This year my doctor and I decided to go a more conservative route and I am happy with the decision.

I enjoy lifting weights and was thinking of starting this week (seated light upper body exercises), more for my mental well-being than for the physical benefits. I am at the point where I am feeling better but know I am still in the early stages and is very difficult to manage. I have a two year old and my wife and I are expecting our second child in January, so it is hard taking a back seat to everyday duties!

Congratulations on your 2nd hip and your second child.
Glad you are forcing yourself to take this slow and easy ...
It will be worth the patience and then you will be a Daddy Good to Go.
Healing mojo coming your way...

Hello there,
I hope all continues to go well with you. I see you just passed your three month anniversary. Happy Anniversary to you! I’ll bet you’re getting stronger week by week. It’s almost baby time! Hopefully with the new addition to the family and the flip of the calendar the New Year will be wonderful. Wishing you all the best!
