THR Doing Okay On The Other Side!!! :-)

[Jaycey]

Foxybrown Hi Michelle, so sorry about the alerts. We did have problem recently and no one was getting them. Back on track now I think!

Please don't be discouraged. Your PT has given you some good advice. Get that strength back on the op side. You WILL run again - but these things take time. Consider everything you are doing now preparation for that day when you are running again.

Hi Michelle, yes, recovery is a slow process.. I still think I am in recovery at 20 months post, even though I don't think about my hip anymore.. You will get there, you will run again.. Keep that thought in your mind..

Thank you for all your encouragement, Poppet and Jaycey!!!

I'm off to the gym right now. I know that this hip is getting stronger every day, I guess I just didn't realize how slow a process it really is. Anyway, these are the cards I've been dealt, so gotta play them. And I just have to keep reminding myself of the fact that I'm in a MUCH better place than I was pre-surgery!! I'm just going to have to work very hard at making sure I'm strengthening these muscles! And my GP has set me up with a sports medicine doctor, so I'm hoping she can help me speed up this process!

Have a great day, hippies!!

Peace out,

Michelle

Hi Michelle- You will be back to normal soon! It just seems like forever right now because you are in the middle of it. I think you will be surprised at how quickly you can get stronger once you have been doing focused exercises. Good luck! ... and keep us posted on your progress.
