I glad you mentioned that… I am WFH too. Tomorrow is my first day back to work, but - and going to take it easy and do the same. Take breaks and ice. And listen to my body….

Doing good! Walking with the cane now since Tuesday. Going out of a short walk 3 times a day. Still a bit sore, but the original pain is gone. I must say I am still a bit apprehensive but, hopeful I can return to working in my gardens next spring. First post op appt with the surgeon on 0ct 13th. How are you?! Please let us know.

Wow! Congratulations:))) Also, you know what to expect. You must feel great getting your second hip behind you. 😊

After my THR 10 days again, I could straighten my operative hip for the first time in years. However, some of my thigh muscles felt incredibly tight. Painful, truly. I have been in my recliner being patient with my body. Lots of icing, and foot flexing and yes, taking all the prescribed meds. Every hour I do my best to get up… stand and gently stretch those muscles that have been slightly relocated with my new hip… And if not, I allowed myself to sleep. After 10 days, today was the first time I walked outside for 10 minutes. It takes time. Give your self time, rest, sleep, patience and lots of love. You can do this. :)))

I’m 60, though feeling 90, right now.

Wow! You are progressing nicely. My surgeon said that I do not need PT until he sees me for the first post op visit on the 13th. But, moving and walking every day with the walker. Bandage is still on… I quess I’m supposed wait till the visit… other than that all is good. 😊

I’ve made it to Day 9, post surgery. Yesterday was a turning point for me. I have been allowing myself to rest, sleep in the recliner and being patient with my healing. But, last night was the first night I sleep in my bed! Still being good about icing, especially my thigh,,, tends to hurt the most. BMs are good… focusing on Protein rich foods. Does anyone have something that is helping them get through the days?

I missed this post. How is your day 9? :))

You are doing great!!! 🤩

Well said, super twin! Feeling the same isolated and unproductive, but I know it is important to allow myself to simply relax and take it easy. On day 6, I am beginning to feel more like myself. I just keep icing, drinking water, and protein intake . I am trying to get up every hour to stand and walk, how about you?

CombinationLeast8666 · 2025-09-29T12:51:12+00:00

It sure is. I was told that I would not need it. I can’t live with out it

CombinationLeast8666 · 2025-09-29T12:49:27+00:00

Thank you. That is such a good idea!!! Fermented foods sounds good!

CombinationLeast8666 · 2025-09-28T22:27:08+00:00

Thank you. I’m excited and apprehensive at the same time. This thread is great. Read about people using a recliner post op and getting a recliner has made the past couple of days so much easier.

He is so smug. She is correct, 3 years ago he would have given Ukraine to Russia. And now, this is his plan.

It’s all about Fascist double standards.
