TRHP 12/26/2018 - Recovery!
Posted , 4 users are following.
Saw my surgeon today for my second post-op and got fantastic news - all restrictions are off! It’s not even three months since TRHP. March 26 would be a full 3 months. I no longer have to follow the 90 degree angle rule, I can cross my right leg, I can touch my toes, I can go back to yoga - “downward facing dog, child pose, chair pose, cat pose” and so on. I had been going to yoga at least 5 times a week and not being able to do yoga left a void that I continually reminded myself was temporary. I can now take my dogs hiking and I can ride my bike!
I never expected the surgery to be such a roller coaster, physically and emotionally. I have since discovered, especially from this group, that it is not unusual. I had a very different experience when having both knees replaced. I recall just trying to weight bear after this recent surgery, would bring tears to my eyes and the other day, through various walks, I managed 4-1/2 miles.
