Walk! Whether it's nice outside or not. When it's too cold (below 20F), icy or too hot and humid, I walk at the (shopping) mall. Our YMCA has an indoor walking track, membership is covered by my Medicare Advantage Plan, but the mall is 15 minutes closer by car. Get others to walk with you for good conversation. Listen to a book or music. Drink plenty of water. Every little bit helps. When/if your doctor decides it is time for surgery, your general fitness will ease your recovery. Good luck!
