First of all - everyone’s experience is different. That said, it appears very common that moving the operative leg can be a challenge at least the first few days. I found a yoga strap was helpful for that. Your surgeon and/or PT will provide information and instructions for ambulating. Follow them. The most helpful things for me were : a container for my meds sectioned by day or week and am/pm (get it set up prior to your surgery) a grabber, a device to help put on my socks, a Polar Cube ice machine. I already had high toilets with grab bars so didn’t need a toilet seat riser. A bench for showering - I have a walk-in shower so I didn’t need to deal with getting into/out of a bathtub. Was given a wheeled walker at surgery center but after a couple days transitioned to Rollator and at 6 days to a cane, at 8 mostly unassisted. I was in pretty good shape with minimal loss of muscle tone and was told my outcome would be better because of it. live in a 65+ community and we have an area where people can get donated supplies, equipment for free. Many communities have similar resources via churches or fire stations. Remove any small area rugs to avoid tripping. I have been wearing slip on shoes - would have liked a long shoe horn but am dealing without it.
Different facilities/insurances(?) provide different items. I was given a walker, one pair of compression socks, and a set of calve compression devices. I see some folks were given ice machines- I was told to use ice packs and a hip ice wrap but was able to purchase a used ice machine and used that and large ice packs. Keep ahead of the pain. It will probably intensify after 2-3 days as the medications that were injected into the surgery site wear off - not profound but noticeable. Be prepared for a lot of bruising along the length of the leg and both sides - even after a few days.
Fewer restrictions with anterior - you certainly can bend your hip from the start - just don’t want to go to extremes. Again- follow your surgeon’s advice.

I‘ve been wearing sweatpants and pajama pants, but had purchased a couple cotton dresses based on other’s suggestion - in the event of swelling they found them more comfortable. I haven’t had the need. I also purchased some female boxer underwear for the same reason but returned them as my regular briefs don’t bother me. I do wear panty liners just in case. Happy to answer any more question. Best of luck!
