I scheduled my hip replacements today and had all my questions (for now) answered. I am having my right hip done June 30th and the left on August 11 (6 weeks later) They are being done laterally from the outside with no staples the doctor's assistant said.
She said I will be able to work from home in my recliner at week 3. I can work 6 hours per day at work at week 5 (there are no steps and I sit at work) She said I might have to do 3 hours go home for break and then another 3 hours. Then just when I am able to work normal hours I will start all over again.
This sounds like a fun summer. But what is getting me through this is I am only 46. Far too young to be this miserable. The doctor said by next summer I can ride a bike and dance! He said I will be able to move more than I have in the last 10-20 years.
Thank you all for all the great information I have gotten from you. I knew all the questions to ask to be well informed.
Thanks!
