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

Guy,
Thank you for your feedback! I was very interested in your comments about continuing hip PT. I have been traveling lately and sometimes spend a whole day in a seminar. On those days, I do not get to do any exercise and my hip seems to be not as happy on those days. Besides swimming, I ride a stationary bike and play golf so I've been giving it a lot of work. I will keep up the hip rotator exercises and hope to get my breaststroke kick back. I have not been competing and haven't been off a block in decades!
thanks again, Jenny
