5 weeks

Not much new to report.  Still doing multiple walks per day and pool therapy twice a week which feels pretty easy for the most part.  Many of the exercises don't seem to feel like they are doing much, but I do feel better than normal the day after.  Doing bicycle kicks in the corner of the pool is nice since it is the one thing I feel safe to try to get my heart rate up a little.  The pain I had in my abs after the first session did not come back after subsequent pool sessions.  The pain in my hip is a little better and seems to depend on activity level.  A couple ibuprofen seem to knock it down pretty well when needed.  I have xrays and a follow up appt. with my surgeon here in the USA next week.  Still being careful with my movements, but slowly incorporating small increases to my range of motion, maybe a quarter twist or bend would be the very max I would do at this point.  No new significant adverse events which means so far so good.
