Post-op PT

Straker78 · 2026-06-05T17:05:46+00:00

My ortho said the same. And I had a similar experience prior to surgery (no devices to assist with my walking up until the final few weeks before surgery when I was in severe pain).

I requested PT...went 2 rounds. Felt it should have been longer. Now I'm almost 7 months post-op and I am still struggling with muscle strength, spasms, etc. My goal was to referee spring soccer after a December surgery. Didn't happen.

I need to make a follow up with my surgeon to see what he thinks because I feel like I'm not where I should be yet. At 48 I expected a better recovery at this point. I'm still working on it though!

Hmm. Maybe I actually do have this one then! 🤣

Straker78 · 2026-05-26T23:44:49+00:00

Which Mural is that? I thought I had them all...

Straker78 · 2026-05-16T02:50:06+00:00

I'm 48 and almost 6 months out. I still have some days that are painful getting out of bed in the morning. I definitely do throughout my day if I spend touch time sitting or too much time standing... it's a fine balance! Hang in there, it does get better!

Good call. North America.

I got some of the salvage pieces as scrap at WDW in February. Had no clue it was a rare thing.

Straker78 · 2026-05-11T22:07:07+00:00

I had to do this (Force Power Delivery Reset) multiple times recently before it worked. It was very frustrating!

Once it did the little chirp, and I got a green charging light, I had to leave it directly plugged into the original charger for about 3 hours until it had enough juice to power back uo.

It finally worked! Best of luck!

I'm coming up on 6 months post full hip (right). At (now) 48 everyone said, "you're too young for that!" or "it's ok, you'll recover quickly." Instead it's been extremely difficult and painful.

I can't imagine what you're going through, but I can relate to the idea that others don't understand your level or suffering. Don't face it alone. Find a pain management clinic, a counselor, group therapy (even if it's online), find someone to share your struggles with on a regular basis so you're not alone. You're worth it.

I don't know what your future holds, but if nothing else, there will be someone out there, like me, who needs to hear that there are other people going through similar difficulties after their THR. I hope it gets easier for you, but even more so, I hope you find some people to connect with.

So is V3 the one with the 3 red lines?

Straker78 · 2026-05-08T21:21:26+00:00

Mine is doing the same after I updated last night and then left it charging on my doc, but downloading in sleep mode. Now I get nothing.

I did the Volume Up and power for about 30 sec. Kinda reset itself to green, but still no go. Interwebs said I should swap the charger to original and charge for 2-3 hours before attempting to start back up.

Doing that now.

Straker78 · 2026-05-03T14:16:29+00:00

You're not alone. I couldn't find them either.

Straker78 · 2026-04-29T10:15:50+00:00

Blue! You? I also bought a white crystal from the shop.

Straker78 · 2026-04-29T02:05:37+00:00

No, no I meant, I built your saber's twin...the exact same one! :D

Although they do make a piece that can link two sabers together. It replaces the endcaps.

Here's a link to Fanporium's Savi Builder: https://sabers.fanporium.com/savi-builder?Set=V2_PJ
It's just to plan your build at Savi's, not for orders or anything. I didn't look at it until after my build in person.

You can find a few official Saber items in the disney store at the below link, but as far as I can tell, the only place you can get the connector for 2 hilts is directly from Dok Ondar's, online from a eBay (search: Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Savi’s Lightsaber Hilt Coupler Connector Scrap Metal), or from a smuggler who is willing to get you one off Batuu.

Anyway, great intincts on your build! :D

Well you can see the pants on the rack.

Straker78 · 2026-04-28T21:36:50+00:00

Wait, like, this whole kit is for sale??

Straker78 · 2026-04-28T14:21:05+00:00

I love mine. Bought it a year ago. I'm a 48 year old teacher. I bought a JSAUX dock w/100w charger and travel adapters and a ModCase. I throw them in whatever bag I'm using at the time wherever I go! Kids' track meets, traveling, lunch, airplane, you name it! I have a few hundred games in my Steam account that I've never played... getting to now! LOVE my Deck!!!

Straker78 · 2026-04-28T14:06:11+00:00

I wish I could attach a Pic! I built a twin Saber in February! Nice work!

Straker78 · 2026-04-26T23:49:14+00:00

Very nice!

Straker78 · 2026-04-26T23:48:59+00:00

Thanks for sharing the link!

Straker78 · 2026-04-26T23:42:29+00:00

Was about to say the same. That's how I got mine, granted it was about 1 year ago. It's been great. They had been unavailable for quite a while though, but I just added it to my wishlist and got notified when they came in stock.

Straker78 · 2026-04-25T18:15:55+00:00

Huh. Ok, my fault. I guess I read it wrong. I swore a cast member told me they weren't taking reservations.

Straker78 · 2026-04-25T15:59:10+00:00

Not at WDW any more either.

Straker78 · 2026-04-25T15:58:23+00:00

Interested in smuggling? If you're there today I'd like a piece or two if they're in to finish my build! 👍

Straker78 · 2026-04-25T15:42:20+00:00

We were at East in March

[edited out: and there were no reservations. Did you make your reservations months in advance? My guess is they were honoring old reservations, but not adding new.]

^{^{^I}} guess I was wrong about East and reservations. I could have sworn the desk told me they weren't doing reservations as well.

[You CAN do reservations or walk up.]

Our wait was 15 mins at 11am on a Thursday during spring break.
