Giving my surgeon, Dr. James Nace some positive publicity.
He made a really bleak experience with hip revision surgery seem like another day in the office, with hope at the end of the tunnel.
8 week check up today and he’s very pleased with progress. Within 8 weeks is usually when problems can resurface, but I’m outside of that window.
While I’m not walking without a limp yet, this is far above the normal recovery timeline.
He said I have no restrictions but need to follow the 10% rule:
- for example, if you walk for 30 minutes one day, and you feel fine the next day, increase it by 10%.
- if you do 3 sets of 10 of an exercise without issue, next time do 3 sets of 11.
- if you eat 2 chicken breasts…eat a 3rd
Okay the last one is not true…but Jim Milbrandt knows that last tip will pack on mass.
That’s a great guide for me, because I really want this cement hip to last a long time.
If you have any joint replacement needs (I hope you don’t), I highly recommend him.
