Hip hip hooray @ginabilleter

Good morning. I applaud your efforts on getting back your health! Moving forward, to me, is the only direction to move post-surgery.

Are there any "tips" that you can share that might help people waiting for surgery?

Thank you for posting!

Yes @merpreb
I suggest working out/exercising up until the day of surgery. If you feel well enough, do it. Surgery recovery takes time so you want to keep it moving while you still can. Working out can be an outlet to help with your mental health as well as your physical health. After surgery, walk as much as you can, even if it’s just up and down the stairs or around the house. Then your surgeon can clear you for more exercise at your post op appointment.
