I am nearing in on 7 months since my surgery and am pleased with the functionality i have to this point. I played squash yesterday for the first time (a sport i used to play competitively in the age brackets prior to arthritis) and could actually play pretty well. I was quite surprised and delighted. So in the past month i have played hockey (with a safety vest - to avoid people hitting me :)), been doing spin classes, skied and now squash. Just before getting surgery I couldn't do any of those things.
So far so good.
