THR Weight bearing issue 14 months out
Eleven months post operation I am doing well. Playing golf twice a week, doing water aerobic exercises three days a week and having fun. The water work is exhilarating and I do lots of jumping and lunging. There is almost no pain after. Occasionally after lots of hard swinging and hill...- Bobemac

My doctor wants me on two aspirin a day for anticoagulant purposes as you said. After testing my range of motion and leg strength I was approved to drive. It looks as if my DW Will have a copilot. He would not allow any exercising etc. until my X-Ray on 5/18. The bone needs to grow together...- Bobemac

THR Six days post Anterior THR
OK tomorrow I visit my surgeon. I was put on toe touch for six weeks but I've been walking unaided on the sly with no pain. If my DW caught me in the act I would have taken bit of explaining to do. My son is getting married this weekend in N. Texas, a distance of about 305 miles or six...- Bobemac

Aha nurse Josephine; I actually took 2 tabs or a 100mg dosage for about 30 days. This med is also addictive with long term use. FWIW my GP wanted me to take 50 mg but my pain management doctor overruled him. Medicine is not an exact science, we learn by experience.- Bobemac

The Norco didn't work for me. A bad case of dry mouth and some strange dreaming was a deal breaker. I got my new...- Bobemac

Hi Jaycey, all is cool. I had lots of trepidation prior to procedure but I've apparently moved on unscathed. My sleepy time doctor was Vietnamese so we bounded amazingly because I spent a year over there with the U.S. Army. Hearing welcome home and thanks for your service warmed the cockles of...- Bobemac

I am with you on the minimum PT exercises for THR. I gave the in house PT folks the brush off until I feel that I'm ready. My DW is concerned about taking the Percoset around the clock. She is afraid of addiction. There's no pain currently. I'm leaning toward your philosophy. Can you...- Bobemac

I have enjoyed reading everyone's contributions to this site. This was my first surgery since a tonsillectomy right after WW II. My San Antonio surgeon is young but efficient and productive. I was apprehensive prior to this surgery. Your strong suggestion to elevate and ice are not normal...- Bobemac
