It's been high 80's since we got here, from what my neighbor tells me we can be in the pool until November or even December if we're hearty.

Okay, think I overdid it a bit. Found that I was feeling better so in two days I went to Home Depot, the insurance agent, the library, car wash, and did water aerobics... all on my own two feet with no cart or cane. Today I'm just exhausted so I guess it will be a prop/ice/rest day.

At least you have some new reading material!
That was a lot of trips. I am having to tie myself down to keep from doing too much. It's hard but so much better than before.

Hi @Pax - just dropping in to give you the following information

The following is a link to an article which provides the science regarding the healing process beneath and around the implant and the approximate timeframes for our bodies healing phases and processes.
Healing Phases & Nutrition
Nutrition plays a huge part in surgical recovery, in fact it is one of the 'forgotten topics' of recovery..
This second link is to other nutritional articles which you may find interesting, including one relating to bone health.

However, I would appreciate if you (or any other member) do not request advice regards supplements as I would be breaking the Common Law Act (under which I am governed) to prescribe outside of my practice, especially via the Internet.

It is absolutely wonderful! Thanks for asking. We keep wanting to pinch ourselves to be sure it's real, we waited so long to get to where we want to be and we're finally HERE!!!

@Poppet I really appreciate you sharing your insights, thank you. My wife is a huge fitness and nutrition advocate so that has been really helpful in my healing process, but there are several items on your food list we're not currently getting so I've added them to our farmers market list for later this morning.

Holy COW, never knew coming off tramadol would be like this! Sweats, shakes, nausea, rebound pain, crying... very un-fun. I'm super sensitive to meds but never thought four months of 150 to 200mg could do this; all most through it though, sure hope I never have to take it again!!

I went from four rounds of meds a day to one and the withdrawal started like crazy, I thought I was losing my mind, got so sick. Frantic internet search and figured out it was withdrawal from the tramadol; good lord what misery.
I'm pretty well done now, no tramadol at all for two days and I'm done with the major symptoms. Weirdest thing... I'm not in much pain at all, like not even advil pain. Makes me wonder if the rebound pain was keeping me on the tramadol for so long, it can't be that it just magically quit hurting after a couple of days, even after doing waer aerobics yesterday??
