@Creampuff ahhh wonderful sunshine! So glad you could get out-- it will lift your mood!
I think I am doing this right!
I did read these and of course believed that I am an exception! I'm having a restful evening. Thanks!I think I am doing this right!
Great news, Creampuff! If you haven’t made it through the Recovery Guidelines yet, please take the time to read the article I linked. I referred to it often in the early weeks of my recovery and it kept me from overdoing it.
Activity progression for THRs
For THRs. Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are assessed in hospital as a means of assessing your fitness to be discharged home. Your domestic circumstances will be taken into account as in if you are living alone, etc. ADLs include: ~ Personal hygiene and grooming ~ Dressing and undressing ~...bonesmart.org
Glad you’re feeling more comfortable!
I hope you will read and consider this. Normal time for returning to work post THR is 10-12 weeks post op and then a Phased return to work .I will need to determine when I will be able to return to work
Hello All,
Now 3 weeks post op. I haven't taken narcotics for several days and I can drive to therapy or other errands. Here's my question, when I first stand up after sitting or reclining, my hip feels very uncomfortable and I am very unsteady, like weight bearing is difficult. After a couple of steps, all is well. I asked my PT about it and she said the last person she took care of with a hip replacement said the same thing. In therapy, I am finding that lifting my leg up is very challenging when doing steps or the marching. She asked me if I could do that pre-op. Who marches that isn't in the band or military? I doubt that I could have!
