At least 6-9 months to feel somewhat normal when using the elliptical (I am not a runner). For floor exercises, I still have to make sure I have extra cushion under my butt when I am on my back, even this far out.

Wow! I'm so glad your doctor listened to you and took the steps necessary to find the clot!
Rest up and happy healing from here on out!!

I so agree, Liz! Some people seem to have such and easy time of it and others like me seem to end up with every complication in the book even if we do everything the surgeon asks of us.
As you know, I am SO GLAD you are okay. I also glad you posted this. It is a real eye opener to realize that PS is not always a smooth path.

Where in the Boston area are you? My surgeon was at the Brigham, he built up that entire department, but he moved to providence. Is that too far? I could ask him for a recommendation in Boston.
SO glad that you went and that all of the medical staff were on top of it! I am sorry that you've had another problem post-op but Gwen is right, you are so lucky with this! It was caught and treated and you are back out of the hospital and alive!
BIG hug!

Wow you've had a second chance at life! The outcome usually isn't good for this.
