    THR 2nd hip done Tuesday, now at home

    Well after 3 months had my other hip replaced. After the 1st one was done it swelled and after was left with a burning filling in left calf. It got better feeling but would not go away. Rehab and surgeon said all was ok, just a very weak muscle because my gate was so bad for so long. On day...

I found that cushion a little uncomfortable and damn near dislocated myself one night and wore it every night after that for a while.
