Hi there @ststyle59, I have merged your two threads, as we prefer members to only have the one recovery thread. This is to ensure that we can see your recovery history as a whole 
I am sorry you are hurting, but in the scheme of recovery time you are still early days.. and yes, you are right - slow and steady grasshopper - check back on my post number 47 and here is a link to provide more information around the healing timeframes etc.. We don't have PT as an automatic part of our insurance, so I went with my surgeon's advice and just walked - not long distances, general living and working walking mainly and I found this was the best approach for me... It is hard to remember this is major surgery and it takes time to heal.. Xx
The following is a link to an article which provides some approximate timeframes around the healing phases and processes and the relevant nutritional information for each phase.
