Sparky-(Admin) 21,882 #2 Posted March 13 Niantic Boardwalk is a great place to stretch your legs. Wife and I make the drive down there a few times a year and make that walk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,061 #3 Posted March 13 @Sparky @Achto @Ed Kennell this transition from where I was , to where I am , has been a real learning experience . at a level that I have only been close to , with my knee replacements , it should force you to engage it , remember you will not win it , but more importantly , you will sense / adapt to how you are doing . little spikes of gain , will show you how you need to move and work with it . have met others with similar , recovery frustration , offer what I have been doing , show them how , always a modified form , that will let you , start to gain from it . another step that verifies on track gain is a very tired sleep need , been listening to that , hour or two , in the afternoon , as dr said , as long as it does not , interfere with night sleep , its ok . think the general fear I see with joint work is hear say , that terror , spoils all aspects of having it done . joint recovery , rehab centers , put you on track . they want you to do well . just my own personal experience , walkin the talk , pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 28,593 #4 Posted March 13 After market parts are not always what they are cracked up to be. But if they help us keep going, then we need to make the best of 'em. Glad to hear that you are making progress. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
