Hi Laurie! Wow! You inspire me,girl! Like you, I love doing total full body/core workouts! Before my hip pain became excruciating, I would do 45 min on the eliptical and do free weights a few times a weeksn too! I really became depressed when I used to walk 4 miles a day on our high school track 2 summers ago & this last summer I would be in agony if I even walked half a block! Last week I started working on the recumbent bike starting out at 3O min then increasing my time to 1 hour! I have been so thrilled with this surgery! Keep up the great work! My TRHR wa Nov 7th so I'm a little behind you!Life is so wonderful again,,,isn't it? I can't wait for spring to come! Who do we believe Punxatawny Phil who says 6 more weeks of winter, or Staten Island Chuck who totally disagrees! Meanwhile, its been snowing most of the day! Hope your hubby is feeling good! Funny topics about raised toilet seats tonite! Hope you are feeling good! Watch out for black ice,,, I slid on some and it totally freaked ne out!!
