Greetings,

Well, my pesky hip replacement surgery is finally done. Everything went pretty smoothly. Pain levels were a little higher than expected for the first few days but hey, think of the endorphins.

I'm sure everything will even out and begin to get back to normal. Phys. therapy has gone well but its kind of a trip not being able to make some movements on account of some muscles being pretty sliced up. Ah well, patients padawan!

Thanx to everyone for your positive thoughts and prayers!

Regards,
Ins

Be of good cheer while you recuperate. One of my teachers got his hip replaced and was back on the mat very quickly. Just be sure to apply your martial artist discipline, drive and bullheadedness to your PT. Do everything your physical therapist says. Even that one thing you're thinking of right now that you hate.

Glad to hear that things worked out well!

Just listen and do EVERYTHING that the P/T tell you too do.
