Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I didnt read through all the pages so far but my advice is to do ALL the physical therapy and do it to the best of your ability. You have to push yourself.....
Its proven that it will help.

Pellet Gun and lots of tin cans for recovery.
Best of luck throughout the whole process!
I'd have to agree with all the suggestions of going through all the PT. I know people who have made things worse for themselves after surgeries like this by not doing it - makes a full recovery take a lot longer.

Back in the 90's my second wife had a hip replaced. She was born with a congenital dislocation. Make sure they are cutting and splitting the muscle parallel to the tissue. Back when they did my ex they cut the muscle across the grain, significantly slowing the recovery time and increasing pain. I have a friend that had it done about a year ago and by splitting the muscle he was up and walking within a week, with very little pain.
God luck you should be fine. I think I may only be a year or so away from the same thing. The pain in my left hip wakes me up at night.
Make sure your insurance is in place, not cheap surgery.

Terry, is everything still on schedule? I'm off this Friday, if there's anything I can do. Keep us updated.
Hell we can do it for $1999.00 but ya gotta sign the release.
Is this thread about to go "chain saw"?
Prayers going out for guidance of the surgeon's hands and a speedy recovery Terry!

No chainsaws please. Yup going in at 8, surgery is scheduled for 10 the doc says he will have me up and walking the halls sometime in the afternoon. Nervous as hell, but it needs to get done. Might have to see if i can post something that makes sense while I am on some of the pain pills.
Thanks for all the well wishes, prayers and positive energy everybody. Looks like i will do some reloading and will get caught up on some reading between rehab and recovery times.
