It’s crazy to think that I’m already on Day 10 post-op! What a wild ride this has been. So for this week’s Fit Five Friday, I’m linking up with Marcia to share a few surgery-related Runfessions.

Hip Surgery Runfessions

Given how much better my hip feels, I runfess that I wish I hadn’t waited so long to have the surgery. I also runfess that I wish someone had warned me of how painful muscle spasms can be – whew! Thankfully I think the worse of it has passed.

While I was initially a little disappointed that my surgeon was not of the “go home the same day” club, I runfess that I am truly grateful for the extra nursing attention I received during my one-night stay in the hospital.

I runfess that the recovery process can be humbling. While I didn’t expect to be “back to normal” right off the bat, it has been humbling to have to rely on others for some of the basics (hello putting socks on or driving anywhere). I am quickly learning how to MacGyver most situations. (Please tell me that you get that reference, or am I dating myself LOL).

I runfess that I’m actually looking forward to starting out-of-home PT. I’ve been working with a therapist in-home, and while she’s very nice, the sessions are beyond tedious. Will regular PT be wildly exciting – probably not, but there will be more equipment and a change of scenary is always good, right?

Have you ever had surgery? What would you runfess?
