@Cynthia777 HELLLOOOOO!!:loveshwr: We seem to be progressing at around the same rate and should be proud of ourselves!
I am doing really good! As seems to be the norm here, at 51/2-6 weeks things are pretty ho hum but stable. It probably isn't fair to use ho hum though considering how much...
Hi @JamieOlivia I am 3 weeks today, my THR was posterior (lateral-? It's on the side) and I have had a lot of tightness in the groin /hip flexor area. I have been told by my PT that the OS did do quite a bit of "tightening up" and securing of the muscles in this area which is probably what has...
Congratulations and WELCOME!! That feeling of knowing you are on the beautiful road to renewed mobility begins.... And only gets stronger! Blessings to you & remember to be patient with yourself!

Although I have been mainly keeping myself to the upstairs, I have...

Hi @bab123 I am sorry to hear this, but you do have lots of company.
I too had nausea once the spinal/ anesthesia (no general) I was given began to wear off & I started on post-op narcotics. I do have a tendency towards nausea with pain meds so alerted they started me on nausea meds early on...
