last rides before hip surgery
Feb 25th, 2012, 6:48pm
 

i rode up and down our road-about 2 miles each way---went slow because i took the dog---she got to ride on the way back  
I hope the weather holds at least for this week  so i can get in a few more days of triking.... I will be having hip surgery mar 6 at plano presbyterian.  then home bound for 4-6 weeks !   then the second hip in june  
xrays showed I have  defective hips, socket covers too much of my hip ball (restricting movement) and  hip angle too straight-answers a lot of questions as to why I was not limber as a kid (most kids are very bendable) and why I could not get up from a sitting position when other kids would pop right up.  And why i stood with  my feet so close together.  and why i now have lots of bone spurs and arthritis!

I hope you make a quick and full recovery from your surgeries and are back on the bike soon!  I also hope they give you some awesome pain meds in the interim.  Wink

Hope you recover quickly!  Also watch out for some unpleasant psychoactive effects from oxytocin if they give it to you.

Gee, if it were only investigated when you were younger.  I wish you a speedy recovery.  Riding works its way into one's being, especially bent riding, especially triking.  Many happy miles to you post recovery, with the wind at your back.

I hope the hip repair goes well.  Seems to be happening with more frequency among my friends and acquaintences.   The good news is that surgeons are getting more experienced with them!   Smiley

Wishing you a quick recovery, and remember to start doing range-of-motion exercises as soon as you are cleared. But don't start until then. I managed to pull some stitches (internally) and caused a major problem with my gluteus minimus because I felt so good without painkillers that I started moving the leg too far too soon. Well actually I was leading a low-impact aerobics class 36 hours post-op, which was not on my rehab schedule. Smiley Smiley That was what my surgeon did when I told him what I had done.
