I have to comment on this one. Some people heal faster then others. I might of been slightly unwise in my judgment of mind in taking on my sports and loves of life by getting back into them, but for me, it was ok for I know my body, I know what the surgery did for me, and I did excel on my Pt and Rom. I simply felt as if I never missed a beat with the exception of the first 2 months being at handicapped-then after that, my real healing took over. For some(not all) people, I would feel they will have the same healing, and for them to try to do what they love, even if early its not a sign of showing off to see how fast we recover, its a love/drive of what we do, and we can not live normally when not doing it, so our bodies tell us to go. I don't want anyone to overdue it. It is said that it takes 3 months for the bone to recover from the surgery. It takes your muscles time to recover depending on your personal shape and the amount of activities and exercises you did before and after surgery. Then and only then you have to take your activities that you like to do, and determine if they are impact or not. To me, jogging is most impact, so I don't jog. Walking is encourgaged since its all around helpful, (Rom and strength) and I believe in the WI foot pad games.
When your healing and you start to take your walks, you are told to not overdue it, I would bet you most all of us overdid it in the beginning, but we learned where our limits were from that. We picked up on the warning signs and thus, conserved it after the consequences of that. But in general, life is that way.
Happy healing every one,
Eric
hope others can see this view(which is simply my view)
