    THR Have a date January 26th 2023

    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...

    THR Clearance after surgery to drive a car?

    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.

    THR Clearance after surgery to drive a car?

    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.

    THR Clearance after surgery to drive a car?

    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...

    THR Clearance after surgery to drive a car?

    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...

    THR Two years of building the courage, finally on the other side!

    I agree. It was the only place I found a yellow bruise later. Made me wonder what went on during surgery.

    THR Clearance after surgery to drive a car?

    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?

    THR Clearance after surgery to drive a car?

    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...

    THR Feeling confused and very upset

    I didn’t even know about this. My surgeon scheduled me about a month ago. Had my surgery today. I’m home in bed. So glad it’s done!

    THR Last sleep before morning surgery

    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.

    THR Question before surgery

    Will do. I’m doing my cleaning prep tonight. Surgery tomorrow at 9:30. At least that’s when they want me to arrive. Out patient surgery.

    THR Question before surgery

    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.

    THR Question before surgery

    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...
