I am now 4 1/2 months post-op and for the most part am feeling very good. I haven't had restless leg syndrome since I started taking 600 mg gabapentin a day, so that is a real plus. I went to the gym last week to use the pool. I thought swimming would be really easy, but I almost sank to the bottom of the pool. Needless to say, I stayed really close to the edge of the pool while trying several different strokes, none of which I could do except a few strokes of the breast stroke. Yesterday I went to the pool for the third time and was able to do the breast stroke and the side stroke so they were recognizable. I guess I just need to be persistent with the swimming. At least it isn't as boring as walking on a treadmill. Finally it is warm enough to walk outside and I have been able to walk 2 miles at a pretty good pace.
I had a chance to meet and have lunch with Linda W from this forum last week and we had a really nice time. It has been a great help to me to meet and talk with someone who has gone through something similiar to what I have experienced.
Take care all and God Bless, Sally
