Hey Friend2U, I am glad that you are doing well! I believe that following instructions is very important! I was instructed to get up and walk every 45 minutes when I got home to recover from my surgery and though it was difficult at first, I knew it would help me in the long run so I just did it. I thank God for my recovery!

About the stiffness, I felt it for the first couple of months when I'd get out of bed, but physical therapy helped it to decrease stiffness a whole lot. Now occasional stiffness is just a reminder to me that I need to stretch a little bit!

Thanks also for the replies csinghurst1 and EWSW!

God Bless you all,

P.J
