After spending twenty minutes on the elliptical yesterday, I woke up this morning with sore muscles. Without any excruciating hip pain that I would have associated with about twenty minutes of any kind of activity pre-op. It is pretty amazing. If I managed to survive for 20 minutes doing that type of activity, I would have needed extra meds before bed, would have suffered with little sleep and probably would have still been limping and in pain today.
I stepped up pretty quickly from the 15 minutes that I did on Monday. I was probably feeling a little bit over confident after smashing the 90 degree mark and it's gone ok. I'm a little tired today and won't finish up with that many minutes today but tomorrow I plan to do 20 again. I figure if I stick to that for a couple of days and get my body used to that activity, I should be able to add another 4 or 5 minutes pretty soon.
