I'll be starting again next week after seven weeks off after my major hip replacement. My healing is much longer than usual - it was a complex surgery since I was born with arthritis hips.
What can I expect? I have a feeling flip turns are out. Will I be able I use my fins? Do breaststroke and fly?
I plan on cutting the workouts our coach puts up in half and seeing how that goes.
Anything else I should know?
Hard to believe there isn't some online forum just for hip replacement and exercise. I have an artificial aortic valve and found a valvereplacement.com forum where they discuss exactly that. There are people with repaired heart valves that do every sport you can think of. Also forums for pacemaker, stents, cardiac by pass, etc., so why not look one about hips?
