Thank you all. Marcellus I like that and yes it would help. lol. Wombatie so true. I'm slow but getting back to normal. Clyde no running except in water, guess the Boston is out lol. Rob I take it easy but work out good. I'm up to a resistance level of 7 on both the bike and the elliptical, that's a big improvement over the 0 resistance I started with. Judy you know that's true. I can accually lift my leg and kick a bit without pain. Dan you are so right pain is my middle name when I work out but at least now there are no tears when I do. Graybeard ROM is almost back to normal. I am able to get on the floor alone and back up. Its not easy but I'm able. The swimming has helped more than the machines. My therapist says I'm improving great. I go back for my next check-up July 1st and they seem to think I will be released at that time. This seems to be taking forever but at least I'm getting better. Love and Hugs to all
