Highschool reunion 4 days after surgery, am I fooling myself thinking I might be able to go?
I'm 22F, and I've got a CAM lesion impingement and labral tear that we picked up on earlier this year after I've been experiencing pain after exercise involving slopes specifically. I'm going the surgical route since my dad has had the same issue (but admittedly worse/bigger than mine) but didn't notice it, and he had to have a total hip replacement in his mid-late 50's due to all the damage, which I would very much like to avoid. I've done physiotherapy, which helped to an extent, but not as much as we'd hoped and honestly I also struggle with the consistency of it. I don't want to be constantly worrying about it and doing physiotherapy for the rest of my life, especially since I've chosen a career where I might be out in the field and physically active for up to weeks at a time.
Booked the surgery (arthroscopy) for later this year and it turns out my old high school class is having a reunion!... 4 days after my surgery.
I'd love to go, and the venue seems fairly crutches accessible, so I kind of wanted to get a ballpark idea of how people have felt after their surgeries to see if I should get my hopes up on going or not. I've had a breast reduction a couple years ago, and recovery from that was actually pretty doable, but I'm not sure if joint surgery will have a different recovery timeline to that.
If you've had a surgery for a similar/the same thing, I would be grateful if you could give me a (gentle) reality check ❤️
Edit: Thanks y'all, seems like the consensus is Absolutely Not, which is fair enough. I think I kind of knew, but I think I needed some outside input telling me that I'd be an idiot for even trying. I'll throw an email to the organiser, and I'll let him know that I can't make it, but that I am keen for the 10 year reunion when it rolls around ❤️
