We are getting to the tail end of dealing with a major joint reconstruction for a family member. To a large extent, it really seems to be the mindset of the individual to push. In agreement with the orthopedic surgeon, we tapered off as quick as possible from the standard PT, and worked with a good athletic trainer to make much better headway. On the other hand, if someone were willing to put some good swimming in, I think that's a good bit more than most would do. Hope all goes routine and smooth next week.
