THR Hip Surgery done and Home

This one of those moments where you need to exercise your patience muscle @Harpcat, you're are just 3 1/2 months into a year long recovery. As you walk more and just become more active in life, your muscles will continue to get stronger and before you realize it you will just be living a happy pain free life. Slow and steady, it's a marathon not a sprint, but you've got the finish line in view!
 
Some things take some time and we have to remember we are recovering from the period before our THRs also when we had bad gait, poor ROM and likely unable to strengthen properly.
I liked what you reminded me of above, I was unable to even walk much so that makes sense. By the way yesterday I had PT so I asked her when I could expect to get up from kneeling unassisted and she said about a year! So you are spot on and I was surprise it would take that long. I have pretty high expectations I guess. So I am not so down about it now and will continue my exercise as prescribed. She said don’t stop or I will not achieve my goal and can lose it quickly At my age...which is (gulp) 68.5!!
 
You Will get there.... I'm rooting for you.:loveshwr:
 
Happy Four Month Anniversary @Harpcat Be safe, stay well and in touch.
Enjoy the weekend! :SUNsmile:
