Gump

At 61 back on the ice in September 2023.  Had hip replacement in Feb 23; Should surgery in January 23.  Hip is 100% fine.  No pain at all.  Don't even know I had it replaced.  Shoulder surgeries are nasty and take a long time to recover.

Surgeries I have had include: Shoulders 3x; 2 hips, Achilles, distal bicep, broken arm, ligament tear in hand, 

I had my anterior hip replacement 4 months ago. Appears to be successful so far.  I am able to walk 4-5 miles without pain.  Have tightness in muscle area around incision - which I guess can be expected only 4 months out. Lifting knee straight up is what needs work.  Going to PT and gym religiously.

Feel like I am on good path to be back in net by September (7 months post surgery) when season starts.

Feel like other than tightness around incision, I could play now, but don't want to be totally stupid....just goalie stupid.

(PS) Also had significant shoulder surgery too Dec 2022 (2 months prior to hip replacement) Like I said - just goalie stupid.

Gump - 61 years old - whatever it takes to get back.

Thanks for the timeline info

I’m just a 60+ year old goalie trying to keep it going as long as I can

Happy to hear from brother goalies that have had hip surgery and continued to play 

I was worried that it wouldn’t be possible - which would have killed me 

Thank you 

Could I ask the guys that had the hip replacements how long was it before you could start playing again?

I’m having my hip replacement at the end of November

thanks
