Hello everyone, I had my left hip resurfaced (Cormet device) on August 12 at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore. I went back to work two weeks ago for half days, and last week, for full days. (I work at a desk and my job is usually no more than typing at a computer and talking on the telephone). I have been using one crutch until two or three days ago, when I started to use a walking stick to smooth out my limp, which seems to let me walk with a normal gait.
Sleeping is much more comfortable now-- I used to struggle to find a good position but now I can just sleep on the unoperated side and not worry about it.
I still don't walk more than a mile or so at a time, although I feel I could, and I use the bicycle seat adaptor on my 2 in 1 elliptical machine to cycle for 10 or 15 minutes on the lowest or second lowest resistance setting every day. Yesterday I used the standing elliptical for just a little bit.
There are times when I feel I barely limp at all. My five week follow up appointment with Dr. Mont is this coming Friday. Keeping fingers crossed that everything has stayed in place and looks normal.
