HI Bill - Be careful when heading back to the gym - I would try to pick low use times and stay out of the locker room and steam rooms - you are still at high risk for infection as you heal and your immune system rebounds to normal. And the flu/RSV/etc season is upon us.

This was the advice of my ortho surgeon after my revisions - and he is a huge gym rat and proponent of PT and exercise to get back to normal.

Thanks Sue. I’m going to use Covid protocol when I return—mask, sanitizer, no locker room, short workouts.

Begs another question: should I get a flu shot?

Thanks!
Bill
