3 week post op visit yesterday

And I could not be happier. Got the ok to drive, was told I can start to do stretches as long as it is not toe in- turn in kind of movements- I can begin water exercises and got a script for PT. And I can do some snow shoeing this winter (I live in N Idaho and we get snow 8 months out of the year- so walking will soon be out and snow shoeing in!) I am going back in two months to talk about getting the other hip done before the end of the year (for insurance reasons). It has been acting up- not as bad as the one I had done by any means, but since it was found I had a large chunck of cartilage missing from my ball joint during surgery- it is suspected the same issue exists for the other. I have to get a second surgery on my broken collar bone in a few weeks- it broke 4 months ago and despite being pinned remains a non union. This has certainly complicated my whole hip recovery- but not enough to make me have anything negative to say about the hip resurfacing. Dr Poole in Boise ID, is the tops, and he has given me my life back by resurfacing this hip. Anyone who is hemming and hawing about having this done- who is in pain- just do it!
