Total hip replacement - What to expect for recovery

I had a right hip replacement 11 days ago. I need to remember that this is major surgery and everyone’s recovery is different.
Getting in and out of bed was challenging until pt showed me how to use a stool to get in bed.
I must say any surgical pain is better than the pain I had had the last 6 moths.
I need to be patient.

Great attitude! What I found after getting both knees replaced is that even though rehab was hard, bordering on painful but mostly uncomfortable, was that my pain did get a little better each day. Pre surgery, the pain was getting worse each day.
These are little/big things to keep you going in post op rehab. All the best!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work!
