    THR 8 weeks from THR

    90% of what we worry about never happens and the other 10% we have no control over. When I learned this I became way more happy with living each day as it is!

    Please make a list on paper of all your questions that you have asked here and take them to your OS appointment. It is easy to forget what to ask unless we write it down. Hope all goes well.

    THR Moosehead's Recovery

    So happy to hear great stories as well as the struggles that can happen. I am 7 months out and ham happy I can do whatever I want. I choose to do yoga 1-2 times a day as well as strength training twice a week with no downsides. Will never ski or ride a bike but I didnt do that before my surgery...

    Can you get a referral to an infectious disease doc. It would be more reassuring and infection is their specialty>

    Yes Ondansetron and Zofran are the same thing.

    THR Megsmum75's Recovery

    Don't know if you got Zofran for nausea but it can cause headaches. Take tylenol with it. I know it is crazy that you have to take another drug to combat the side effects from another drug but you will be off of all of them before you know it.

    Or try yoga in the mix. Lots of football and baseball players do yoga. I live on the oregon coast and a lot of surfers do to!

    THR Megsmum75's Recovery

    A high loss of blood is usually unavoidable with hip replacements. Average of 1500ml. It takes a while for the body to build back up. Nutrition and fluids are very important. Dizziness and weakness are very common.

    THR RTHR Recovery - UK - 65 year old woman

    I love water walking. You put a float belt around your waist, go to the start of the deal end and head to the deep end all the while not touching the bottom. Works your arms and legs and (bonus)you dont get your hair wet.Some people call it water jogging. You can look it up on google

    THR Game of Life 411's THR recovery

    I did what you have done. I scheduled my LHR long before I was limping a lot. I had pain for a year and talked to so many people who said dont wait. I am so glad I did. I think my recover was much easier because of it. It still does take some time. I am 6 months out and now I can do everything...

    Yep I would say check in with your PCP or OS. Is it warm to touch(after the ice has been off for a while), or red. You cant feel a blood clot. Better to be safe than sorry.
