I'm 6 months post op... just recommended friend who just has THR to the site. I told her I would have been lost without it. I noticed the change in the comments while they fly by....Anything special to know about this?

Not sure what you mean about the change. But lots of great new contributors have joined.
I hope all is well with you. I am at 16 weeks and doing okay. I will be even better after my second hip is done I think (late summer). If it was good I would be flying. My connective tissues have settled down finally; and the knee and ankle seem to have finally adjusted to new hio, posture and gait. Almost time ti stir them up again!
Welcome to your friend.
Best wishes,

i was so interested to read your comment about connective tissues and the knee and ankle.
my foot is pointing straight for the first time n my life, and the knee seems too far in right now, but it is only three weeks after thr so I won't panic yet!
i have a feeling that the precautions are not just for dislocation issues, but as you mention, connective tissues all have to adjust correctly too. No one has yet mentioned this before to me.
thankyou! I will not be tempted to cheat with 90 degrees etc now!
Happy healing
Jill

So ... yes be kind to those poor tissues - they have been through a lot.
I'm not sure who posted it originally, but there is a reminder that heat often soothes (I think Bini was involved in the discussion) and I certainly found this helped with my hamstrings, IT band and other tissues that wrap the area from hip to knee. It really helped to loosen them before I started exercising as well. But cold packs were also needed for the swellling.
Good luck Jacqui.

Lots of newbies, and still a few of us 'oldies' too.
Amazingly, the same old topics come up again and again, which is where my website comes in useful now.
Hope you are doing well.
