Hi jojo58. I'm impressed with your stamina. You're encouraging and yes, i'll get up soon and walk a little in the apartment. The PT is coming tomorrow and no, I don't want the joint to freeze. That would be awful. OK, tty later and hope you make progress.

I’m sorry, it didn’t pick up my whole comment for some reason. It depends on age, what kind of shape your body is in. I was about 48 when I had my first hip replaced. I have arthritis everywhere and it caused the ball in the joint to wear away. It was an inch shorter right before I had surgery. I ride motorcycles, work retail on my feet all day and I was in pretty good shape. 6 weeks light duty, which meant being on a register. No bending over either. I worked the truck before. I wasn’t supposed to be lifting anything either. That’s standard. I couldn’t ride (or wasn’t supposed to) my motorcycle for 3 months

Good luck to you! I had an awful PT person that they sent to my house. I already knew what I had to do so I told her to hit the road. If you don’t care for who they send request someone else. Mine was like a drill sergeant. I don’t take too much of that. 😊🙏
