That makes sense, Gunny - unless you realize that it didn't start hurting until
after about 9 months. By that time I was easily walking a mile a day, and
occassionally, even close to 2 miles. Before TM hit I walked a lot (a 15
minute mile) and even afterwards, would often stand to push my wheelchair as
soon as I was able. (The morning TM hit, it was sudden, just 1/2 hour after I
finished walking my usual 3-4 miles!) And this is the good hip where I only
lost feeling on my skin, no paralysis on this side.
On the other hand, maybe it could have atrophied before I got back to being
able to walk and I walked too much, too soon, w/o rebuilding the muscle first -
I don't know. It's something I hadn't considered.
