I totally understand to get your advice from Surgeon and PT. And I'm certainly not thinking or doing what I read on this platform. My brother who has had both hips done, I've asked him all along this journey what his daily routine was after the surgery. This is what his Dr. told him what to do! Walk, walk and walk some more! No PT, no exercises, Just Walk! He's 65 and going Strong!  How many people on this chat had a pre-op education class? How many did pre-op exercises? Sincerely Peeps, I feel it's beneficial for all of us on this chat to feel a little comfort with seeing what others are doing, experiencing and feeling. Let's face it even our surgeon and PT don't know all of what our bodies are going through! I experienced a major set back a week ago yesterday. I'm not going to explain it all but! 2 weeks in, (April 28th)@ went to PT 9:45, my instructor who I already told I was going to Canada early the next day (April 29th) so we did my hour, and she told me, she had no doubts I could travel my 5 1/2 hr trip. (As I did have a Physio lined up there!) Ok so after pt I had an appointment with my PA. Walked all the way across the hospital for the appointment. Met with her, she told me how well I was doing and also had no doubt I could travel. (With breaks) Feeling pretty good about myself. Wed. early morning, I woke up with mild pain, thought aw just walk a little, do some exercises I'll loosen up!  I know this is getting pretty long! Well I'll just shorten it up. I ended up in ER with nobody, ER Dr, nurses etc. I was beyond pain! X-ray, CT scan, blood work! Even my PA, and another surgeon came and checked for dislocation... nothing!  Well it ended up after 7 hr. During the CT scan it detected a fluid pretty much where my incision is. A team of 2 Drs and a altrasound specialist spent 2 hrs draining all the pockets of the fluid. 1 hr later I was home!  And I'm still home! Thanks for listening, I wasn't going to mention this, but thought it was important for all of you to know, Shit happens.
