    Oh yeah, I know what you mean. When I used the walker I felt like I was an invalid. One day I bumped my new hip on my daughters marble counter top & heard a definite metallic clink, no pain just a clink. One thing I noticed is that the years before my surgery, I developed a limp & slumped...

    Hi Sparky, busy weekend, hanging drywall at the grand daughters--I'm not doing very much work, just trying to stay out of the way of my kids. One plus, I have to climb stairs which is something I had great difficulty doing before the operation, good exercise too. I do feel a slight stretching...

    Sparky, congrats on your 13 days, I'm 7 weeks PO. It sound like you are recovering very fast! I went to a golf store day before yesterday to look at some clubs & try some out--mostly though to see how the new right hip would do. I'm still in one piece & it don't hurt, so, I guess I'm ok. I plan...

    21 days post op. Good morning sewell44, Judy, yes, I have been cleared to walk unaided, climb stairs, drive a car. I am staying on the conservative side though, taking my time & watching my Big 3 NO NO's- don't cross legs, don't rotate foot/leg inward & don't raise the knee beyond 90* or higher...

    July 23, 20 days post op. Saw the Dr today; I got to see the Xray of my hip implant, looks quite hansom if I say so myself. He said everything looks good,the right leg might be a little long but it should settle in, if not a small lift for the left shoe. I didn't need the cane, I could resume...
