Do not let them take out the catheter too quickly wait until your ready. My second hip after the replacement 24 hours later fractured the actebulum and public ramus. I had to remain in bed sedated for a week waiting for my hip to quit bleeding before they could fix it. Took a year and a half to relearn to walk. Just go at your own pace not there’s.

Wow. I was much luckier with first hip replacement, but agree with you. Originally I was to have day surgery. My surgeon is doing anterior hip replacements for 'healthy' patients as day surgery. But due to my not receiving any nerve block I could not stand on right leg. Was kept overnight and had to wear a fitted leg brace for 5 months. Its been 14 months since surgery, still some discomfort but improving. Will be better prepare for left hip replacement in the fall.
Take care and Thank you kindly!
