It’s been 15 days since my Superpath (SP) by Dr. Anderson. I’ll contrast it somewhat to my 1st THR 10 yrs ago, same doc. Had surgery at 9am, in my room at noon, walking with a walker by 3pm. Have to admit I was a little spaced out on the oxy! Discharged the next morning. Very little in the way of soft tissue pain; mostly a cramp like pain. Off oxy by day +10; on Tylenol now . Just to say that SP is still a THR so don’t expect a miracle recovery. The short term is just so much better. That will also get you into long term recovery process faster. WARNING: Don’t over do it or you will pay for it with increased long term recovery; plus the LAST thing you want to do is fall down. Doc Anderson is aware of my ultra distances so he specifically ordered my wife to keep me on a short lease and NO tread mill (chance of a fall)! Two days ago I was cleared for driving and to do 10 min walks with a cane ( I use trekking poles) twice a day. I use my GPS watch to track my distance, time and pace. I’m starting easy with once a day this week and next week I’ll go to 2x/day. That’s it for now. So far, so good, but it’s still a THR!
