Rehab Doctor Visit
I saw Dr. King the Sports Medicine doctor today to follow up from my Dr. Mohler visit. The point of the visit was to review my post-treatment x-rays so that he can give me an idea of how to rehab my hip. He told me that he does agree with Mohler that I have an increased chance of needing a new hip in 30-50 years, but he said it is not a sure thing. He also said that I am sure to have some arthritis, but I realized today that "arth" just means "joints", and I already knew "itis" was irritation, so arthritis is just irritation of the joints. Basically, it just means my hip hurts, and I already knew that.
The biggest bummer of what he said is that I shouldn't try jumping for something like 6 months. The rehab plan is simply to slowly strengthen the hip. He said that the more pain-free movement of the joint, the better, but it is bad to jar it.
Big day tomorrow, the 6 month PET scan to make sure I remain cancer-free.
