Anyone out there in USMS/Board world had a total hip replacment or hip resurfacing? If so, here are my questions:
1. How long until you were back in the water training?
2. How long until you were back in the water racing (pool and/or open water)?
3. How long until you could do flip turns and push hard off the wall?
4. How long until you were biking?
5. How long until you felt "normal?"
6. What is your experience re range of motion post surgery?
thanks

A.K.: Got it and sent him an email. Thanks.
Glenn: Thanks for the input. Hope to see you sometime soon . . . Though I doubt I'll be in the water for the Caltech Pentathalon this year.
Jean: Thank you.
Tom: Thanks for the feedback. I understand the blood loss issues. I'm getting the hip resurfacing which preserves a lot of my bone and results in a much reduced blood loss. Your comments are well appreciated and I am really looking forward to that "pain free" part.
