Hip replacement surgery is coming up for me, too. On June 26. I ordered toilet extenders and a shower bench. Everyone I know who has had this surgery has done really well. My best friend's 'baby' brother, aged 61, went back to surfing 3 weeks after. Of course, he is a lifelong athlete which I am not.
So, I have been encouraged by all the successes. As the day approaches, I have interviewed these new hip recipients more intensely about this. All of them said the same thing - that the first week at home is rough. Not pain-wise, but just navigating around the house, not being able to bend over, taking a long time to get up the stairs, cranky old husbands as caregivers, etc.
So, best of luck to you with your procedure and with recovery. I will post here after my surgery as to outcomes, challenges, and so on. I feel lucky that there is such a thing as hip replacement as I am not okay as I am. The hip pain has changed my life and not in a good way.
