I was down to 1 crutch after 2 weeks with both my hip surgeries. It certainly makes life easier, having one hand free.
I'm able to do more tasks around the house now which makes you feel more like you are getting back to normal. I'm 3 weeks post op today and can manage short distances with no crutches at all, which I could never have contemplated a week ago. Every week brings new triumphs to be proud of and they all bring us that one step closer to be able to walk, crutch and pain free.
Try pottering round indoors today to see how you do on one crutch (crutch needs to be the opposite side to the operated hip, no one told me that and I struggled for days using one crutch on the same side as the operated hip). Your body will let you know if it's ready and how stable you feel will tell you if you are able to continue with just one crutch.
Good luck.
Ali xx

Keep improving x

You are doing great. It's all up and up from here on out! I love this forum because we can all give support, compare notes and follow each other's progress. Even though no two are the same, if you have a question or concern, you're sure to find another fellow hippie who has some insight or a similar experience.
Keep on getting stronger and more mobile!
