Both of you have had major surgery and it takes TIME to fully recover from it. When MD's tell you NOT to do something or to DO something they should be obeyed. Robert, what you are going through is perfectly normal, you just have to be patient because one day you will realize that you are getting around better then you have in YEARS and realize that you are back to normal!
I had major surgery at age 39, I took 2 months out of work, and then went back & for a week I did part time for a week. For the majority of the 2 months I couldn't do more than 2 hrs worth of activity before my body said ENOUGH! I didn't think I'd ever get back to full strength. Then 3 months post-op I was walking home & realized I wasn't exhausted & was just bouncing up a slight incline that used to wear me out. That's when I realized I WAS BACK!!! It was one of the happiest days of my life & the surgery was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life!
God bless the Internet, because I was able to research everything about my surgery & recovery time & I tracked right along with it exactly.
So just listen to your body Lady F & Robert and obey it when it is giving you indications to stop. To push it will only prolong or increase the risk of recovery or damage.
