I have always been an active person. Growing up, I went to dancing school (tap, jazz, ballet, and toe). About 8 1/2 years ago I started taking Tae Kwon Do. I started bicycle riding last Spring and had gotten up to 20 miles and change. I did “Zumba” and “Hip Hop Abs”. I have always been able to walk long distances. This recovery has been difficult. I am unable to do any type of aerobic activity for 4 weeks after surgery. Today is week 4 for surgery one. However, I have another week to make week 4 after surgery two. I started walking very gingerly while in the hospital. I have done some walking on my street. The first time I tried walking up my street, I had to stop a number of times due to the pain in my right hip and running down my right leg. I thought it would get better once the drain was removed from my butt incision (the drain exited near my right hip). I walked for a bit on Saturday. I still couldn’t get very far. I am limping and still in pain. At least I can now stand upright. It’s still painful pulling my right leg up to put on socks and shoes. Twisting my body is painful. At this point, I’m not sure what type of Aerobic activity I will be able to do in a week. But, I have to walk before I run…………………………………………….
