6 week check today. Restrictions removed,can drive but build it up slowly, date for return to work sorted, extra excercises to help get rid of limp when walking unaided, best of all can go on cruise next week! I expect there will be some set backs but a painless light at the end of the tunnel

    What wonderful news Maggie! Always good to see that light at the end of the tunnel isn't it? A cruise sounds like a wonderful way to rest and exercise and oh the great foods!

    Wish you the best!

    wow - well done - have a lovely time!

    My 6 week check is on the 9th - I'm not sure if I will be ready for driving - I have an automatic but had my right hip done unlike last time when I could drive easily in an auto.

    Great news maggie. I past my 6 week post op yesterday. I don't see my consultant again now till 8 weeks post op. I hope then I can get hydrotherapy because I am finding getting mobile very difficult because of my right hip.

    I hope things go smoothly for you. Just take it easy and you will reach which ever goal you set yourself.

    Hi that's great to hear.

    At first I thought my leg was shorter than the other and had a limp within my first 6 weeks gradually with walking and physical therapy exercises it went away. No limp legs leveled. I wish you the best in your recovery.

      Thankyou everyone. Best of all, last night was able to, carefully with pillow between legs, start on my side and be properly cuddled to sleep for the first time since the op
