Post Op Visit with Surgeon completed today, it's been 12 full days after surgery.
They took an X-ray - everything looks great.
Wound healing nicely, swelling is non-existent.
After watching me walk without a limp he asked me to do it again so he could video it. I asked him to put the tall-thin lens on.
I definitely got the sense that even my Dr was a bit surprised at how well it is going. I told him he's the 'Rembrandt" of hip surgeries.
Cleared to drive and travel by air with compression hose.
Told me to continue working the new hip until the other bad hip starts hurting and discussed working in a cane if necessary to minimize limping.
Going to try the elliptical trainer today as that should be relatively stress free on the joint - but at least get some range of motion action.
We scheduled Pre-Op visit for RTHR Oct 26th and hope to get that done in early December.
I have to admit I am feeling a bit guilty/lucky with how well this LTHR has gone, I'm waiting for the "oh no" moment to occur.
