One Month Update
My surgery was one month ago. I can now walk without crutches. The restrictions of no external rotation and not greater than 90 degrees of flexion are gone. This makes putting on shoes and socks much easier! :) My physical therapist measured internal rotation on both legs. It was found that my surgical hip has almost 10 degrees more internal rotation than my nonsurgical hip. Hopefully I will see similar results in my external rotation. According to the protocol, I should have full passive range of motion in about 2 weeks. I am now able to run on the elliptical machine. It feels so great to be doing aerobic exercise for the first time since my surgery. I am headed back to Nashville soon for a checkup, and to confirm that everything is progressing smoothly. Again, thanks everyone for all of your support!

I really understand what youve been through. I had to retire from twirling due to tear's in my spine that are not fixable! its taken me two years to come to terms with that and im slowly getting my 'normal' life back. I had 26 years in the twirling world, so i really hope you can continue your dreams. please take it slowly as you can and gradually get into it again. Your health is so much more important, especially when your older!wish you a speedy recovery HAPPY TWILRING!!!!! miss twirler xxx
