Thanks Sue for checking in. I am about 4.5 weeks. Still some swelling at the wound and surrounding area. I am applying ice now mostly after activity. I am walking well. Today, I walked 2 miles. I have done some cycling as well. I had my last Physical Therapy appointment yesterday. Won't see my doctor for about 3 weeks yet but I think I am doing well.

I do feel I have a while to go. I have lowered myself to the ground a few times to get things and feel weakness in my hip. The good news is that my right hip doesn't hurt anymore while walking, only my left. I think I will need the left done in the not too distant future. 🙂

Thanks so much for your interest.
Craig

That's great progress Craig. Be cautious about the getting up, that joint us still a bit vulnerable. No matter how tough we feel, healing takes its own time.
Now that you know how good it is to lose the pain, will you schedule the other hip?
