Yes, in fact I called my surgeons care patient line and when the nurse called me back and I specifically asked for professional PT which they have right there in the building she said hmmm, I'm not sure about that I know they do that for a total knee replacement but let me find out from surgeon's assistant and I'll get back with you. I'm very frustrated at this point. so, I'm going to pursue this more tomorrow being Monday hopefully she's had a chance to answer my question. My husband is still ill and I know I have neglected myself but just being concerned for him it's like my top priority right now. As far as doing the beginning exercises they sent me home with on paper I do those once in awhile and I do walk a lot which I know is also good therapy but I definitely need the strengthening and the ability to go up and down stairs better. Thank you for your help and insight otherwise I would have to pester them more because as I said this is my first rodeo.

Your health HAS to be top priority otherwise you will not be able to take care of your husband. I was doing home p/t in addition to professional p/t and it took only minutes out of my day. There are many many exercises on the internet specifically for THR.
