    THR A not great first day home...

    Thanks to all, I am actually doing much better, doing my exercises and PT comfortably and not past any pain point! Had a nice stroll around Kroger yesterday, now walking pretty comfortably without my cane (where did I leave that stupid thing?) but keeping it close by, taking 1000 mg Tylenol...

    THR A not great first day home...

    First, I was just told about this site and forum, glad to have found it and joined! I might have just read and not posted had I not had a not so great go of it since my right anterior THR yesterday... Had it performed by a well respected and experienced surgeon at a surgery center, which they...
