Sorry to hear you are having so much difficulty. I am 5 1/2 weeks out from my surgery on my right hip. I did lots of prep before with my diet and walking. It made recovery easier. Visualize how much better your life will be when you are walking more. I focused on my surgery like another job. You...
I'm now 4 weeks out from my surgery. Healing perfectly. I really didn't have any bruising except for a small yellow bruise on my right knee. No pain right now. PT is easy. No complaints.
Yesterday I went for my three week checkup after surgery. Everything is perfect. Walking well and wound healing just fine. I can burn the support socks! I’ll be off the aspirin by the 25th. I’m happy this is all behind me now.
Yesterday, I took a drive by myself for the first time since the day before surgery. I stopped at UPS to drop off a package then drove about 5 miles to a Christmas vendor market at an old country school. It was liberating to park and walk in on my own. Everything seemed so fresh and new again...
Thanks for all the comments. I called my doctor yesterday after PT. They said with all the progress I had made, I was above the curve in recovery. They cleared me to drive since I had excellent movement and had been clear of the OXY for 3 days. Today makes 2 weeks since surgery. I might drive a...
How long after your surgery did you get cleared to drive a car? I’m 12 days out from surgery. My appointment to get stitches out is on Nov 18. Is that painful?
I think I’m doing fairly well after surgery. First day i had one brief dizzy spell after walking. Was put back in bed. Second day I threw up my morning coffee. That would have happened because of pain med on empty stomach. I’ll keep crackers nearby for next time. Pretty view from my bed keeps me...
I’m settled in for the night. All prep work and cleaning done. My out patient surgery is scheduled for 9:30A. It’s hard to believe I am doing this. My first major surgery. I’ve had pain for over 10 years. I hope everything goes smoothly.
Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind. My dogs are small. 13 and 7 lbs. they like to snuggle on top of covers on either side of me. They are easy to re-adjust if need be.
Oct.28 right hip. My first surgery. Suffered 10 years with this. Glad I finally decided to get it repaired. I was wondering about the no pets in bed after surgery instructions from my doctor. I have two small very clean hypoallergenic dogs that sleep on top of covers. Is this going to be an...
