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

TRUST ME.... it will be night and day different....or....the difference in Grant Hackett’s mile time.....and...my mile time.....
I waited way to long and suffered needlessly both times before going in and having it replaced. My second operation was a Godsend for the pain was way over the edge...and I mean way over the edge. Hey, they don’t call us Jar Heads for nothing.
