Hip Follow Up

A further right hipster report.

Hip is getting better every day.  I can now leg press 90 pounds at PT with no issues, trying to max out their leg press machine at 200 pounds before I'm done, so Monday I'm going to push to have them let me do 100.

Still some aches and pains, tends to still wake me up during the night but things are progressively getting easier including sitting for long periods, walking distances etc.

Had an unnaturally early doctor's appointment this morning.  On the plus side, had just about zero waiting time.

Latest x-ray shows the hip implant has stayed in  position and is really well and truly attached to the bone and the bone has grown in and secured it, which is good.

Muscles are still score due to scar tissue and usage/lack of usage issues from the arthritis and the surgery so still not 100% yet.  I'm to continue PT to try and build up the muscles around the area and try to get the scar tissue to subside.

Restrictions now reduced to: No falling; No inversion tables; and No Ju Jitsu or similar dynamic or explosive movements so Zumba is right out. But then again, Zumba never was a serious consideration.

Next check up in six weeks.
