Hi All,
Today is 15 days post op for my RBHR procedure. Yesterday, I visited Dr. Kohan to have the staples removed. All going well and the wound has healed great. My incision is some 25cm long, as Dr. Kohan had some difficulty dislocating the hip. He put this down to my robust physique. I'll take that as a compliment!!
Am now able to walk unassisted, and am tracking approximately 2km at a time. I get a little sore in both groins, but was told this is as a result of skeletal alignment progress. No issues as yet, but will return to an office role in a weeks time. Dr. Kohan does not want me to return to my flying role until February next year as a precaution for DVT. I have to go to HKG to complete a project at the end of the month, so this will be the only time I fly, and the good doctor has precribed some Clexane injections for this journey.
I am "stoked" at the progress I have made. However, I have been religous in following the excercise guide, and restrictions that Dr. Kohan placed on me. No impingement pain, no hip grinding, no sore neck, back and knee. Just some stiffness in the groin. I will start having some massage to keep the surrounding muscles supple and then commence the weight loss program. Exciting stuff!!
Will keep you all posted................
Cheers
Dave
