The best thing I found after surgery was walking, walking, walking and more walking. I currently walk at a pace of about 3.5 mph 1.5 miles x2/day and one in the evening that is up a large hill 2.5 miles. I think it is working. I also do core strengthening with ankle weights and Pilates Ball. Exercise is a great stress releiver too!
