If you needed a partial hip replacement from it, that takes a bit longer but is still a pretty quick recovery.
I probably wouldn’t recommend mountain biking or skiing this winter but I bet you’ll be doing pretty well before you know it.

The goal now is to be back at work before the end of the year and to be back to a decent level of fitness by May.
