Hi all!
Had my post op visit yesterday. Here’s what my surgeon said: “Go out and live your life!”
I’m cleared to lift (even squats), XC ski (easy trails), and any other activities that don’t involve impact, like running, basketball or tennis.
I wasn’t doing those anyway. I will pass on golf for now.
Overall, very good news!
And no pain.

Hi again,
I’ll wait a week for the gym. That will be the end of my PT prescription.
Most likely just one set of squats with an empty bar, 3 sets of bench presses, and 3 sets of barbell rows with 10 lbs loaded.
It’s been 7 mos since I’ve worked out.
Hi all,
Setback.
Not with my hip, but my kidneys. Found out I have stage 3 kidney disease. 30% reduced function.
I’m staying hydrated pending my next set of labs.
A troubling fact: none of the medical providers I’ve seen over the past 3 years mentioned it.
A warning to all—do your own research. Before it’s too late.

Hurray! I love when doctors tell us that!
I'm still a little skeptical about squats, but you know how to listen to your body.
As for cross-country skiing - I'll leave that to you, my old bones love the warm weather, so I'll just head to Texas next month. But I will snowshoe with the grandkids when we come home for Christmas - and build a snowman or two.
Enjoy your new pain-free hip!
