As soon as I could I did a little daily walk. With husband at first for confidence. Did this from week 2. Increased distances and terrain. Used walking poles. Don't be scared your new hip is very strong. But your muscles were already weak and have been cut through. They need a good workout! Slow but sure have rest days. It will take time. I am 5 months walking much better than before but still "know" I have had surgery!
love your new hip! Sending magic fairy healing dust. 💫??🌟
