Run? Now I do many things but running is not one of them! Never mind after surgery-just let's say never!!! Now, many other kinds of exercise, yes.
After surgery I immediately went back to dog walking, only a couple of miles a day to start with but gradually increasing distance and length of walks. I swam as soon as I could get back in the water which was as soon as I got my stitches out. I was back at ballet classes after ten months but it was only vanity that made me put it off for so long as I really couldn't cope with looking at my still lumpy bits in the mirrors that surround you in a dance studio! Oh yes, and the fact that I hadn't done class for 35 years.
I now walk 6-7miles every day with my dogs and do at least two ballet classes a week. I feel wonderful!
