I had a hip replacement to fix a joint worn out by 40 years of martial arts training, conditioning and fitness activities. This video details the first 4 weeks of my recovery, going from barely being able to stand up to climbing a mountain.

As they say, this presentation contains powerful visuals, so if you're interested check out the video version of this podcast on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhWiDe8agdU
