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?
Once all heals and is "locked in place" only a car crash or other traumatic incident will dislodge it. They say not to cross your legs like a guy would that rotates the hip but, if you move slowly into that position it seems to be ok.
Good luck in coming back. Do you feel much better now without the hip pain?
