Hello,
Let me start by wishing you a speedy recovery with the first hip replacement. I think it's going to really depend on how you feel after the first surgery. I was 51 when I had my hips done and not very active except walking a lot at work. The first two weeks are pretty rough. Try not to get discouraged, it's going to take time to heal. The best exercise I did was walk a lot. I didn't do much physical therapy after my second surgery because I went in one day and my therapist had me doing some crazy exercises and it hurt me. Really bad. So I told my surgeon about it and he said to just walk a lot, which I did. And another exercise was stand up against the counter and put your leg out to the side and bring it back in and that happened to work for me, but everybody's different. When I say it's going to depend on how you feel after the first surgery is because I felt really good after the first surgery when I went to my 2 week post op,so I was able to do a second surgery . I wish you the best, if you have any questions please reach out.
