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?
Dan, I will be following your recovery with great interest as I am also in need of a hip replacement (right). I'm trying to wait until the end of the year as I'd like to swim LCM/SCM in my new age group, get onto Medicare, and enjoy our daughter's October wedding.
Karlene,
I sent you a PM with some pre- and post-op info.
