Starting CD after an Op??

[Melaniep]

Good Evening
Just a quick question.....How long after an operation can you start CD??

My dad had a knee replacement 26th June and wants to start CD, mum should be starting int he next couple of weeks and he really wants to start at the same time.

Thanks
Mel

Hello Pea!

You need to wait three months, so he should be ok to start with your mum as long as his dr is happy

D_Q - Why is waiting 3 months suggested?

Sorry to take over this thread - but I need a hip op in jan or feb '07 and want to carry on with CD right up to and straight after. Why not? Who says? Is there an explanation? Given a choice I'd stay on CD while in hospital too, don't know if that's an option though.
Please explain if you can?
