Your comment about your surgeon and his two rules . . . after my hip replacement, my surgeon had two rules as well: ABSOLUTELY NO YOGA and NO RUNNING UNLESS SOMEONE WAS CHASING ME OR I WAS GETTING OUT OF A BURNING BUILDING! The hip replacement was done in October of 2015 and so far, so good! The hip replacement gave me my life back.

That made me chuckle! I was allowed to run and do Yoga after my healing period, but I was told no jumping (I was still playing volleyball up to the week before surgery) if I wanted my hips to last. My lungs are such that I don't run much anymore, but I still to play tag with my littles. Hard to think, but it's been nearly 20 years since the original implants, and 14 since revision due to faulty components - last year my ortho said everything still looks great - now wondering how long I can "baby" my knee that was repaired 30 years ago - it is starting to yell at me every day. And Joe, I started more quad exercises to see if I can tighten it up!
