    I am 4 weeks out and life is so good. I Quit using the rollator last week. I still need a cane for balance and security. Its so nice to be able to actually walk after all this time.

    My OS said Xray was good and he was impressed with my progress since leaving hospital.

No more bone on bone pain...

    Afraid of dislocation!

    I have never heard of anything like that. I think you are over thinking it tho. As long as you follow your Drs restrictions and take it slow and easy I think you will be fine. Just had my 2nd hip done and havent even thought about dislocation.

    Well it is day 5 post op and it feels different. It feels like my body has stopped fighting and has accepted my new implant. The past 5 days have been Hell. I went to bed the last 5 nights exhausted and swelled up so bad. And the pain was only bearable because of the meds. Last night was odd, I...

    MammaT My first hip was so easy, this one I feel like a bus has hit me. My leg is so incredibly sore even with the pain meds. I hope this will pass as the days go by.

    Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I unexpectedly slept so good last night, was exhausted from surgery and not sleeping the night before. They are real good about keeping my pain meds coming. I think I will stay another night just to be taken care of. I kinda like the pampering. The food & of...

    Sleepless night but I will sleep while they replace my hip in a few hours. Oh boy am I ever ready. This last week has been horrible. The pain in my un-operated leg has escalated so fast. Trying to get my house in order has been tough. Pain meds just don't help the bone on bone grinding and...
