No matter what as soon as you are able to. Start to walk and try to push yourself a little more every day, and your recovery will be healthier and faster. Hopefully!!! Was for me anyway's. As I said I still have a disability. but I do my best to try and get out with my family and freind's as often as possible. I Am just recently released to go back to work. Surgery was 10 month's ago. stay positive and good luck.
