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

After my total hip replacement, I was back in the water after 5 weeks (pretty much as soon as the wound healed), and I was back doing flip turns after 7 weeks (after my hip precautions were lifted). I would not be afraid of the replacement. Your life will be vastly improved!
