Hello fellow hip replacement buddies,
I'm 35 years old and I had a THR nearly three weeks ago. My situation is unusual because I had 8 surgeries as a kid to fix congenital hip dysplasia, so my surgery was complex. They had to use screws to attach the socket prothesis . I've been told I'll be 30lbs flat foot weightbearing for 6-12 weeks.
My other special circumstance is that I have two small kids, ages 1 and almost 5. I have my mom helping out with the kids whenever my partner can't be here, which is most of the week. But it's tough! And not knowing if it will be 3 more weeks or 9 more weeks before I can even start getting back to my normal life if so frustrating!
I'd love to find people in similar situations who can tell me their stories and commiserate!
