I have question for 6 months post op. My family and I are planning a ski vacation for late December. Any opinion on how well I'll be able to handle it? I will be having aTAH on July 14. Doc says by then I will be doing normal activities but skiing is not my normal activity! I can't seem to get a good answer so I thought I'd check with someone who's at this stage if possible. thanks,
Crystal

I have not skied in a several years , and I remember it being very strenuous on the whole body, especially the lower part. If you are in good shape now, in other words, have been exercising and workout, and you have no complications and your recovery goes very smoothly, then you might be able to a little skiing on small easy slopes. You would have to take it a littl a time and rest and not do too much per day.
You also have some time to get strong and maybe workout some before you go. I guess it all depends on how you do after your surgery, as everyone is different in their recoveries and healing time. It does take time to not be fatigued and strong again I found after this surgery.
If you want , you can do a Search at the top of the page and put in skiing and see what threads come up. I know we have had people asking about this in the past.

Post-op Travel?
Sister,
Myself, would take trip, but not ski. I skiied once in my life and remember the pressure I felt in my lower body going up the tow rope. Your body and mind will work together and let you know what it can handle. At 6 month check-up ask yourself and Dr. again. Again mind and body will be more in sync. Just don't push yourself.
From what I'm reading in the forum, I don't think I'll be going to Shanghi for X-mas. I'd be 3 monthes post-op and it's only a 16-18 hour flight. I'm hoping (based severity of cramps) to hit Vegas or Costa Rica for long weekend before surgery.
