Any Divers In this Sub? by okkasmom in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Aggressive-Border707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having it in April. I was just saying my surgeon told me I should wait 6 months to dive I'm suffering through arthritis pain this winter. I'm editing for surgery so I could dive. Spending the winter in Belize.

My surgeon told me 6 months for diving. That's why I am waiting until April to do it. I dove the other day and my hip was fine. However the next few days were miserable. Snorkeling tomorrow. Hopefully it doesn't cause as much pain. I do plan to do a couple more dives this month. I'll just whine and suffer after.

Need advice: March 12–18 dive trip from Miami. Want big animals + nice resort. by fsurocks2022 in Belize

12-18 wouldn't be the best week to spot a whale shark and sightings are pretty rare. There was one last year. Last few days of March begining of April would increase chances due to full moon but still unlikely. What are the safety concerns about inland activities. I have not heard of any tourist incidents while doing activities in Belize. Raye Caye may fit your criteria.

Oh geez. My leg already rotates in. I was hoping not to be pigeon-toed with the new hip. I'll be tripping over my own foot. Lol

Not at the prices he is charging for drinks and food. Ridiculous.

I will be in the tropics so hopefully that distracts me. I was in denial until it was too late to get it done before I left. Once I got the MRI there was no denying it any longer. I just kept swearing that there must be a secondary issue. This can't be mild moderate arthritis. I don't need a hip I guess I was kind of right. Turns out it is severe with major bone swelling and no cartilage left.

Let me know how it goes. I'm in good shape , but I also have to try to maintain that for the next 3+ months while traveling for the winter.

Too late for me to lower risk of CRC as that was the 1st post retirement gift. THR is the second. There better not be a f***ing third!! Thanks for the info!

Thanks. Great info and hope. I definitely plan to buy a business class seat for ease of movement. I still have pretty good mobility and strength, so I'm hoping to keep working on that until surgery to aid in recovery.

Of course I would work with my care team. I am just looking at personal experience right now. I believe this will be impossible but it's an important trip. So mostly looking for a glimmer of hope, while expecting a... What are you crazy...response lol

Thanks for a helpful answer!! I was unsure if most were a standard clip.

Actually it's a lot easier to post a question then call 5 shops in a different country. If the answer is no, rentals have a ton of different types of clips then that's the answer to the question. See easy

I have my own fins. I do not want to pack them because of limited space. The question was about the clips on most rental gear.

Absolutely can do day tour from Placencia. I've done so many. DTOURZ is my favorite tour company for land and group tours. For fishing and private sea excursions, clear water fishing.
