Hey RB, yes your day is getting close, good for you my man. I am on Day 9 post op. Day one went well, in the hospital by 1pm, surgery by 4pm, in my room by 8pm, ate some dinner, slept well. Day 2 was a walk down the hall with Pt. Day 3 was another walk with PT, and turned loose and headed home. Each day is pretty much lay down, ice the leg, watch movies, try to sit in a chair very little according to PT, and take short walks within your home often, and you should count on doing this routine for about 2 weeks. The post op pain is less each day, which is a matter of your new titanium finding its new home along with your bones and muscles and all those parts learning to get along, right? That's how I visualize it all anyway, LOL. Today, I walked down the driveway and back on crutches with very little pain, hey hey! My left hip remains strong and pain free with THR on it April 9. It is so nice not to have any arthritis pain. I get up every morning and thank god I am not in a wheelchair anymore, and the horrible pain is gone. Looking forward to hearing from you after surgery, it won't be long for you now, RB!
