Nice report. Just remember to take it slow and let GOD work on healing your body.

Congratulations on having the surgery behind you!!! Now the healing can begin, and it WILL. I had both hips replaced, four months apart, and am 46, close to your age, so I feel we are going through a similar experience. Will be interested to hear your updates. Hope you have a good night and a great tomorrow!!

Take care and keep us posted. We care.

Jeff,

Sometimes we don't see the improvements until we step back and look week to week. And all of us have 3 steps fwd and 2 steps back on a regular basis. But the trend is forward, and we get there.

Glad to hear things went well and the anxiety part (that we all enjoy) is behind you.

Jeff, it is so good to hear from you. Been praying off and on through the day. Keep your eyes on our Lord! Remember how He has been faithful over the years. He is still with you and will get you through the days ahead. This time next week, you will see an incredible improvement. I'm continuing to pray for you.

Very tired the nurses are busy in and out so far so good I'm very humble

Sleeping off and on . I stood up yesterday with walker and was told to put my foot all the way down flat by PT. I put full weight and walked a couple steeps to my surprise no bone on bone paine and it helped balanced out my other bad hip wow!!!!! I have no restrictions at all!!!!!

 

[Poppet]

Congratulations @jebrig3164, You have arrived!

Take all the time you need to build up your strength, your job right now is to relax and recover.

 

[Butterfly]

YAY! Aren't you glad you are done? Sleep well tonight. Do you know when you can go home yet? I was in only two nights with first hip.

Keepng you in my prayers.

Peace and love to you.

Had surgery yesterday so day 1 .Today I will do the bathroom and toilet and getting dress . I live alone so don't know when I will be going home. I'm pleased with the surgery so far. But that anesthesia wow I woke up ruff and dreamy. The pain is 0 but I keep taking my meds on time. Do you think I need to ice ? I also didn't get a cathler....

 

[DrToonz]

Thay took my catheter out right in recovery so I never felt it.
Ice is about swelling so I'm guedsing you DO need it even if pain is zero. (I have not felt pain at zero yet. Not once.)
Keep the meds up, keep the spirits up.
Day 2 after was the worst for me but that doesn't mean it will be for you. God luck today and keep us posted. I'm going back to sleep!

I was just automatically given ice - and after every PT session for sure. I find it helps with swelling as well as pain. Glad the meds are doing their job for you and hope to hear you walking around soon!

 

[dickinson]

hi @jebrig3164 terrific news. seems like only yesterday I was saying the same things. it does just keep on getting easier, for most of us. glad to hear you're doing so well.

 

[ARHip]

Ice, Ice, Ice! As long as you have a towel between the ice bag and hip, it will do no harm and only help. Keep icing for at least the next 7 days. Longer, if needed for comfort. And take pain meds by the clock, at least for next week. Every 4-6 hours. You have nothing to loose, and only healing to gain. So glad the pain is next to nothing, but they often inject surgical site with pain killer during surgery. Unfortunately you may begin to feel pain in a day or two, but it is not too bad, especially if you take your pain meds.
Go, Jeff, go! You remain in my prayers.
