THR 6 weeks and feeling GOOD

[Layla]

Hopefully you are right and the restrictions are lifted tomorrow. The protocol on this topic varies from surgeon to surgeon, Just as it does on so many other topics.
I experienced posterior approach also, but with no restrictions. I was advised to move slowly and carefully and if anything hurts, STOP. So you have two different opinions on restrictions right there.

I hope you've had a good day and wish you luck on your follow up tomorrow.
Update us afterward, if you care to share. Would love to hear...
Hugs

Feeling great f/u appt. with OS today. All restrictions lifted except 90 degree 2 more months and that is lifted. I can live with that. Walked in with no cane didnt need it at all today. Carry it for safety. Had bad day yesterday due to overdoing it day before. Ice a moist heat and woke up today feeling good.

Great news @Yokesgirl !
Yeah, it never hurts until we stop
It's how we find our boundaries though so glad you took some extra TLC for that hip.
I think, for five weeks out, you are doing fabulously!
Onward

 

[Layla]

Wonderful news!
Always reassuring to get a thumbs up from the doc.
You're doing well. Keep it up.
Hope your weekend is all you want it to be.

Awesome @Yokesgirl you are doing great and we both went caneless to our appointments todayI guess with Posterior approach there are more restrictions. Keep up all the amazing progress.

 

[Yokesgirl]

@rheerios hip hip hooray for us. Lets keep the momentum going.Have a great day Rheerios. Do you have same restriction?

 

[Layla]

Hope you have a great weekend @Yokesgirl
All has been looking up for you. So happy to see it.
May it only get better.
Hugs

@Yokesgirl only restrictions I have is hyper extending leg both to the side and back for one more week and warrior pose (which I don't really do often). After that I should be able to do anything as long as it feels good. The Happy Hipster is having more good days than bad ones now.

 

[luvsibes]

Good news, Yokesgirl! It's nice when restrictions are lifted. I still am restricted with the 90 degree thing, rotating inward, and the mid-line until the magic 3 month mark!

 

[AnnieRose2]

Stopping in to say..
WooHoo.
Impressive report.
Keep up the good work.

 

[Yokesgirl]

@AnnieRose2 thank you. Its been an amazing ,emotional ride but so worth it. How is your recovery?

 

[Yokesgirl]

@luvsibes if we made it this far we can live with them restrictions for a little while longer wouldnt you agree? Hope you are doing good.

@Yokesgirl..thanks for asking. Good days and bad ones..I think I have trochanter bursitis from the surgery. That stinks but at least there’s reason for this continuing pain in my hip. I see the OS next week.

I drove to grocery store today..my first time driving since surgery. We bought too many things for the express line, so I bailed and left my husband to wait on the long Saturday morning line.
This reminded me , I have to plan ahead, make a small shopping list , and not go at peak times.
What’s that saying? ..no plan is a plan to fail

It’s 6 weeks since surgery..I wish I was better than I am.
I made a vision board , marking off the days until 12weeks..my original date to be all new , again.

To more good days , Cheers!

@AnnieRose2 sounds like something I would do, go wait in the car lol. I got the ok to drive I feel nervous to try. How was your drive?

 

[Layla]

Once you're off the heavy narcotics, don't be nervous to drive @Yokesgirl.
You'll do great. It's one more step toward independence without hip pain!
It's not scary at all. All you need to do is have hubs drive you to a parking lot where you can practice and make sure you're comfortable hitting the brake. You had your left hip replaced anyway and unless you drive with both feet, which I doubt, you should be golden! Practice in your neighborhood if you're able, instead of a parking lot. Let us know how it goes

 

[AnnieRose2]

@Yokesgirl , I have a small SUV , high off ground , so getting in / out the car is easy.
Practice like Layla said.
I was with my hubby at grocery store. I’m not so sure if I’m ready to go out shopping on my own.
I plan on visiting my friend’ s homes soon.
I gotta get outta this house.
I miss my gym , my swim class... just being out and about. My independence

 

[Yokesgirl]

Good evening hope everyone in the group is feeling hippity hoppity(corny I know) I had my TLH on 6/11 finally walking without cane. I am feeling great. Overdid it today but ice,ice,and more ice is the best relief.

 

[Yokesgirl]

I meant for this thread to go to @junesunbeamers so if it came on my thread if it did.

 

[Hip2BGone]

That's great!

I'm on my 4th week and really happy as well with my progress.
Keep on with the good work!
