Post op day 2...had my home health PT intake today. After the visit some additional swelling after needing to do the stairs again to demonstrate I can get out of bed and navigate the bathroom. Following Bonesmart tips to elevate leg on wedge pillow and ice, its helping!
PT encouraged me to take it easy and do exercises gently instead of additional walking other than up to bathroom. I feel so strong with 2 good hips I'm at risk of overdoing it.
Trying to take as little Oxycodone as possible bc with my right hip replacement 18 mo ago I got into a rough pattern of nausea and diarrhea with the aggressive anti-constipation meds. So far so good with my tummy...not very hungry so eating 6 little meals today.
