    THR Uncivil’s superpath hip recovery

    Just checking in I have been busy recovering and getting back to life. My weight bearing restriction has been off close to three weeks and I am getting along without any walking aids. I also have been back to being around the horses. Physical therapy is going really well. My range of motion is...

    THR Uncivil’s superpath hip recovery

    Hello, Things are going well with recovery. I started physical therapy yesterday. My physical therapist was happy where I was. He is actually considering going to have his hip done by same surgeon. Hopefully my weight restriction will be done end of the month. I can walk around without any...

    THR Uncivil’s superpath hip recovery

    I am definitely hoping my right hip will cooperate with delaying surgery. It is starting to bark a bit with the extra weight bearing. My leg nerve pain is back in both legs making it difficult to sleep and the left hip has been achy. I am wondering if the nerve pain is from the spinal block...

    Yes hopefully my right hip will cooperate as much as possible. I think it will work out fine. I have to get my left hip feeling better.

    THR Uncivil’s superpath hip recovery

    After talking more to my husband I think we will be delaying my second hip replacement that is scheduled for January. We will reschedule for next October. This will allow us to stay at our own place in Arizona and take the pressure off of this first recovery. With the complications I am...

    Bilateral THR BrookeO recovery thread

    Congrats on your replacements. You are brave doing both hips at once. I have one down, second scheduled for January. Good luck getting home safely. I found it hard to limit myself once home so try hard to take it easy and not do to much. I am also younger like you, glad to see you are on...

    @Layla @CricketHip I definitely will keep the delaying recovery in mind! Layla I am not doing clam shells as an exercise just saying I can now do that motion, for example rolling over from my side to my back. I could not do that after surgery. It is funny how excited we get at the simplest...

    @VSlowLife it is getting cold here as well. Frost and the snow line was just above us yesterday when we had a bit of rain. I am at 2200 ft elevation so we definitely get winter! @Layla your not kidding about the ODIC. I am a terrible patient, as I am sure many other are as well. I am...

    THR Uncivil’s superpath hip recovery

    Definitely overdid it this weekend. While I tried to minimize weight bearing we were out and about quite a bit. My daughter participated in a veterans day parade with her 4H group horseback yesterday it was a ton of fun. Glad I am back working sitting with me feet up from the couch today...

    THR Uncivil’s superpath hip recovery

    Well about 2.5 weeks post op. I am feeling pretty good. I can tell the weight restriction is working to heal the pain in my joint. I have to keep reminding myself to limit the pressure even though its feeling better. We are getting my computer set up downstairs today so I can work on my...

    @ceezee I will work on getting a set of crutches for sure. I have to get an xray the week of Thanksgiving and send it to my OS. Hopefully the weight bearing limit will resolve things and nothing else is needed.

    THR Uncivil’s superpath hip recovery

    @Layla, I definitely need the patience pill! @CricketHip yes my incision isn't even red and basically very little bruising. I have a bit of a dimple at the incision site that the surgeon said will go away over time. Have a great day ladies.

    THR Uncivil’s superpath hip recovery

    @ceezee I am considering crutches. A backpack is a good idea. I have two different walkers the standard one issued at the hospital and the kind with a seat and basket. The second is nice because I can put a plate of food or other items on the seat and in the basket but not as good for bearing...

    THR Uncivil’s superpath hip recovery

    I am in a bit better spirits today. I was pretty grouch and down after the instructions for 20% weight bearing. My friend came up and gave me a nice massage last night (She is a massage therapist). That was a nice treat. I am really cutting down on my pain meds, I only took one yesterday...
