Good luck and best wishes.

My biggest advice for you recovery... WALK.

Don't be surprised. They will have you walking less than 24 hrs after surgery. Don't fight them.

Friends always ask how they can help. Tell them you need walking buddies. Get yourself a headset, music on your phone for when you need it.
