I'm healing well and have been cleared to go back to the gym as of Monday. No rowing machine or weights over 50 pounds, and I'm NOT to push myself too hard too fast. But the treadmill and light conditioning is fine, and actually encouraged.

Beyond that, I'm pretty much off the painkillers. I'm eating much, much more fiber than I was before, with the expected results :) Thank goodness for summer harvests, farmstands, and fresh fruit!

And to answer the inevitable question:

Yes, I would have this surgery again, knowing how painful the initial recovery would be. I should have had this done years ago.

Glad to know that.

And glad to hear you are healing well.

Wonderful. :) I'm glad you're taking the recovery process slow, and are nearing 100% again soon.

Hindsight is always 20-20. Shoulda woulda coulda - but you did get it done, and that's really what matters most.
