They said 20% weight bearing the 1st 2 wks of PT with the spacer. Then they changed it to 50% weight bearing. Then when I went for hip aspiration Oct 3rd, I told the Dr I could walk with no crutches or walker. He said that was fine, just don't be trying to sprint or go crazy with it. So for the last month & 1/2, I've been walking. But, he said I wouldn't hurt the spacer because I don't weigh very much, only about 115-118lbs. Glad they got y'all scheduled, but I know it seems like so far away, especially with no weight on that leg.
@ jim@lisa So glad his hip is o.k. After surgery it always takes recovery time glad your on top of if 🙂
