August 15 I had a THR . During surgery they found a detached Gluteous Minimus tendon. They reattached the tendon and I began my healing. My hip was great but I could not walk without my crutches. I was on 2 crutches for 4 weeks then 1 crutch for another 5 weeks.

Then my struggle for normal walking began. It was a long road with sciatica and thigh muscle pain. Finally 21 weeks after surgery I got the OK to start running with my dogs in Agility. I am entered in my first trial February 5. I still can not run fast yet. I feel like a penguin trying to run. The one dog I am going to compete with is good so we will have fun. Hopefully I will be able to move better soon.

To all of you beginning don't give up you can do this.
