It has been nearly two years to the day that I had mine and I couldn't be happier. I just wonder why I didn't do it sooner...not only do I feel soooooo, soooooo much better but I am now free to live my life to the fullest EVERY day!

Be sure to take care of yourself and listen to your doc. You will feel better much sooner than you think, but inside you are still healing and you really do need to let it all heal before you jump into exercising. Walking is good.

Oh, here is a tip. Be careful when you do start back to exercising again...I was tired in the beginning but soon I gained strength and endurance and within a week or so of my clearance I was back to boot camp and tri training. It didn't take long before I was suffering from plantar fas. (sorry, I'm lazy and don't want to look up the spelling) and I had to see a doc for it as it was so severe that it was even bothering me on the bike...couldn't run at all! Long story short, the doc got after me for jumping right into my old routine and said that after 6 weeks off it was too much too soon and even if my mind thought these were "normal" workouts my body didn't agree!

So, be good to yourself while you heal and I hope you are as happy about your decision as I am about mine!
