Hi Hippies, I am a couple of weeks post op on lthr and touch wood all seems to be going ok, just looking and thinking about the future and hopefully returning to work as a carpenter, when is it normal to be able to kneel?
Thanks in advance Phil

Denise (Swindon60) and I are both 7 weeks post THR and we seem to be following a similar healing route. I have been kneeling this weekend too - playing with the dog and gardening - all seems fine and great to have no pain. I did see my surgeon last week. He was very positive and said there wasn't much I couldn't do now as long as I listened to my body.
All the best

Good to hear from you. Since that blip a few weeks ago I am doing fine. i went back to work today but on phased return so only doing half days for 3 weeks. Feeling good but tired. I know what you mean about retiring though, especially the last few days when I have been able to do so much without any pain. I am glad you have plans to make the most of the next few weeks - enjoy.

I also kneel on the side of the bath to wash my hair, but because I can hold on to the bath I have done it very early on, at seven weeks.
For the first six weeks you cannot bend over 90 degrees, so I woudn;t even try;
Ask your phisiotherapist/doctor, we are all healing at different rates.
Best wishes
