    Thanks, @CricketHip. The water and kayaking has been a Godsend. It's so nice to be able to be outside and yet still socially distance. Yes, we do love our hips. They have been a lifesaver.

    THR Anterior Approach Walking Guidelines

    Congratulations on healing so well. I had the anterior technique for my bilateral surgery, too. My surgeon recommended that I work gradually. I was shocked to find I could walk unassisted one week after the surgery. I still took my walker when out in public, to keep people from running into...
