    THR Elle's Second Hip

    @myglasshalffull Well, what did your OS say? I think I could cross my legs only because I had the no-restrictions Superpath and because I always crossed my legs, even at the height of bone-on-bone pain. Everybody has a different body. Are you finding yourself being able to get down a little...

    Layla, thank you so much for checking in, I appreciate that. Time goes so fast! I finally found a physiotherapist in Hanoi and he is excellent. I almost blew this off, but I felt I needed hands-on guidance from an expert. He told me the muscles of my operated leg have atrophied and shrunk...

    THR Elle's Second Hip

    I am relieved to hear @Layla that your instructions with dental work, restrictions and bandage were similar to mine. I flew back home to Hanoi a week now and it has been great to be in my own home and with my head nurse cat. Yesterday I had stiches removed, so infection is no longer a worry. I...

    THR Elle's Second Hip

    Thank you @Layla. Today I shifted to a hotel and it is nice to be out of a hospital environment. I had some surprises in this surgery. 1) not getting antibiotics after surgery (which I learned is present protocol); 2) being told I don't need antibiotics for dental work; 3)not having...

    Hello there Carol, I am so sorry that you are still dealing with such pain at this time. Why in the world did this OS not tell you about the bone problem? Wouldn't this affect the whole approach to PT?? But he says these things are not causing the pain? I am so glad that you are getting...
