    Whats a handy dandy thing for dressing after hip surgery is wearing comfy dresses or clothing that goes over your head. its so easy and only for a few weeks. Saves a lot of frustration. Lots of nice reasonable choices online.

      this is something that you need to address with the hospital. there should be someone there to help you dress and teach you certain movements before are released from the hospital.

      good luck
