The dangers of the day after

This is important to take into account as we try to protect our hips while restarting running after a hip replacement.

How long will it take?

Katheryn of Houston, TX is a runner undergoing a hip replacement operation emailed and wants to know, "How long did it take between your surgery and the first steps you were able to run?"
