I had a complex hip replacement at the end of January. I was up and at ‘‘em about 5 hours after surgery and on my way home two hours after that. I was not allowed to go home same day unless I could walk with a walker and use a crutch to go up a set of stairs. I was sent home with the walker and crutch. The day after surgery a home health care worker came to my house to assess what they thought I needed. I was given a pamphlet regarding many issues and exercises relating to a THR. I saw the home healthcare worker a few times after that. One of those times was when she removed 32 metal staples from my hip which did not hurt btw. I have a Medicare advantage plan in Massachusetts and they took care of things that I never would have thought to do. I started p/t a few weeks after surgery at a local Y. Five months later I am doing well for a nearly 75 year old woman. I am surprised that I am walking almost 100 percent normally and most pain is gone. Seems like a miracle to feel stable again. Before surgery I could barely walk. What a huge difference the surgery has made. I wish you luck.
