I'm not surprised! You had major surgery 13 days ago. Give yourself permission to heal. If you go with your husband tomorrow, have him stop for takeout on the way home. You'll feel to tired to cook, and that's okay.
I promise both you and @susanfalcon52 that it does get better. Just the i cision takes a good month to heal inside and out, not to me tion everything else they messed with. "Normal" can take a while - then one day you'll realize you haven't thought about your leg for hours...
Rest, elevate and ice as much as you can.

PS. I have a little experience, having done this 5 times. Now I rarely think of my hip, unless I get a touch of bursitis. I wish the rest of me felt as good!

I'm 5 weeks out today and haven't used my walker in two weeks. My husband was in the hospital three days and I started walking without it as it was such a pain walking the long corridors and using elevators . I surprised myself! But last week I think I've overdose it a little I've had out of town visitors and family and I'm not one to let people help mui. That has been a struggle for me. So I let my sister from Tennessee do dishes and sweep the kitchen but I felt guilty!! Also, did alot of walking outside and I feel like I'm paying for it with sore butt and stiff and stinging thigh. Hope I didn't get carried away!! I go for my 6 weeks checkup next Friday.
