This is so encouraging to me! I also read about those people who were back to normal at six weeks. All I can say is good for them, that’s not me. I am eight weeks out and most definitely not back to normal. I just gave up the cane, but there is a definite limp when I walk and there is occasional thigh pain. The physical therapist tells me both will go away eventually. So I am trying to be patient and follow her exercise instructions. It is comforting to know many of us are in “the same boat.” Thank you for your post. I look so forward to my daily two mile walk….eventually.
