THR Unsure how to proceed
As my doctor told me when I was waffling, it's only going to get worse and having it done when you are healthy is much better than waiting snd then perhaps dealing with other issues also.- Sheperdess

Thank you all! All fur babies are okay, thank goodness! And I am certainly dialing it back -just sitting with ice and anti-inflammatory meds. My hip does feel much better today so I'm getting there. Thanks for all your help. You do a wonderful job keeping us on track!- Sheperdess

Thank you, Layla. I've been very careful with my hip until the last 2 days. Both events were extreme emergencies and since we live in the country there aren't people around to immediately help. That said, I'm feeling pretty good tonight and will spend the next few days resting and icing and back...- Sheperdess

I know I've overdone it as 2 days ago we had a sick goat and although my husband held her while i gave her shots and medication, it still was pretty physical. And then yesterday we had to make an emergency dash to our vet because our dog ate grapes (very poisonous for dogs). I had to pour...- Sheperdess

Now at 4 weeks and still have hip soreness when I first stand and begin to walk. It seems I've regressed a bit because walking is still painful. Seems like progress was fast the first 3 weeks but now I'm dealing with soreness more than usual.- Sheperdess

Day 12. Started taking a few steps around the house without my walker and then suddenly found myself walking with only muscle soreness. Was amazing! Icing tonight and taking it easy tomorrow but wow, just wow. Thank you science!- Sheperdess

Day 10. Actually folded clothes and put in a small load of laundry. I can easily get around with my walker and have taken first steps with trekking poles. Woohoo! Pain is very manageable and I'm pretty much off opioids. Newest issue is sleeping on my nonoperated side. Tried it with a body pillow...- Sheperdess

What a difference a week makes! Still sore but now manageable with tylenol. I'm getting around using walker and trekking poles. No pain in hip joint other than muscle pain. After the first three days I would never have imagined I would feel this good. I know there is a ways to go and am...- Sheperdess
