    Hi @Molly12 ! Things are going very well, time certainly has a way of moving along quickly! I can't believe it will be 7 weeks on Tuesday..... We are now on vacation in Maine and I'm riding my bike, getting down in the beach chairs and walking about 2 or so miles at a time. Before we left, I...

    THR My Hip Trip - Second Verse

    @HollyB I had bilateral thr 4 weeks ago and I had a similar experience for a few days. I was so anxious, nauseous, shaky, worrying about everything! I felt like I was having a bad trip or something! I was really freaking out. I couldn't stop crying. For me, I think I was on too much painkiller...

    @drgnfly thanks for getting back to me! Today is 4 weeks for me and I'm still in the recliner. I have it down to a science now, though! I tried to sleep in bed last night and although it was better than before, the recliner still wins. I'll try again in A few days. Everything else is going...

    Bilateral THR Zumbamama is getting ready to shake it!

    Excited to say, I'm off the cane! I'm starting to actually believe I will be back to normal.... Everyday i see an improvement! I (hopefully) took my last oxy last night and am feeling fine today. I'm more aware of little niggling pains but nothing too bad. I still have a lot of numbness around...

    @Lauren Spin Trainer Sounds like you are doing awesome! So glad to hear it! How does one leg feel compared to the other, so far? I feel like my right leg is stronger, but tighter. I'm working on walking without the cane, but I feel like I limp a bit without it... Dropping off to the left...

    Ceramic-on-Ceramic (CoC) case Squeaking, is this true?

    @LJ-H I went in tues may 19th at 8am and left Thursday am. I had a lot of help at home, though. My husband took the week off and my mother in law was there also for a week and she was a nurse for 50 years! Do you have people at home to help at first?

    Bilateral THR Spinning over to the other side..June 2nd the day. Bilateral Baby!!

    I'm glad you are doing so well @Lauren Spin Trainer !! I'm taking 5mg oxy 3 times a day, and Tylenol 2 times a day. No pain meds at night. I'm going to only take the oxy twice today and see how that goes. My pain is really minimal. Mostly just stiff and weak feeling. Left side is so much weaker...

    @Lauren Spin Trainer Hi Lauren..... How are you doing? Just thought I'd check in. One week today! How is the nausea, any better? For me the first week to 10 days was the worst then things got remarkably better. I hope you are doing ok! Mary

    THR Newbie! Anterior hip on May 19, 2015

    @donor. I guess you could say I'm going up normally in that I'm alternating right and left but I'm very slow and leaning a lot on the rail and the cane. I view it as a PT exercise and try to use good form! I never had anyone, nurse or PT come to my home. I had to request a prescription for...
