I am about 3 weeks post op for my left hip replacement. Using one crutch to walk. I own a 4x4 pickup truck which I really enjoy driving. The problem is that the truck has a high ground clearance, which normally takes a hop for me to get into the driver seat. Has anyone faced this problem of getting in & out of a truck? Since I am not suppose to twist my torso I don't think a truck step bar will work.
 
Do you have another vehicle you can drive for a while until you are farther along in recovery?
 
Humm im a knee are you going back to work now......?i hope not ...lol.......sounds like you are doing well..that is terrific..........)
 
Well, my sister had that same kind of problem when she had her hip done recently. She solved it by getting a little fold-up plastic step which she had on a string. She'd use the step to get in and then pull the step in after her! Reverse for getting out!
