Dang, you should have had that done in June then you could have rested up over the long hot summer. Good luck with the rehab and we will see you later in the winter. If we do a group dinner you should join us, it isn't necessary to ride just show up.

Friend's experience

A friend had a full hip replacement...on the 5th week she was throwing her leg over the saddle and testing "the waters"...week 6 we were ryding 20 - 30 miles...after that...no limits!!! And no she is not super tough...actually she hates pain!!! :yikes: So she was realllllly reluctant but the call of the Spyder got her to "try"....her ortho Doc said after week 4 ... try it, slowly, and pay attention to your body...:clap:
Sooooo freedom is close for you...and wow no more hip pain....you can sign up for a couple iron butts!!!:thumbup:

It should have been done over a year ago. The Dr. I was using treated me with meds and pt. 2/3rd opinions both recomended surgery.

Good luck with the new hip work. Just make sure you heal up 100%. Don't rush it and aggravate the condition.
