Went through my right thr 2 years after having a Left thr.
Recovery was amazing 1 week ahead of where I was last time round.
Back at work 3 weeks following my op (no sticks)driving after 6 weeks and absolutely pain free now 7 weeks after the op.
These surgeons are amazing, bow do thank them for giving you back your quality of life?

Money can't buy the quality of life that is restored by a total hip replacement.
I suppose they get a thrill from seeing a patient walk out of their hospital without limping.
That must be real job satisfaction!

you were 2 years. Our first hips had full recovery
time. Unfortunately some people have to have their
2nd ops very quickly after the first, and especially where
it is uncemented, it might not be fully integrated (or
whatever it is called when we grow into our spare part)
I am 5 weeks now, but not crutch free yet.. Work in
progress. Well done to you,
Cathie

right now, at 9 weeks of 2nd THR I feel as if I am having a relapse of some sort - cannot lift left (new) leg more than 3 cm - so no driving again as I don't trust myself being able to do the emergency stop ...
